We Are Here

We are here sorrowfully happy
We are here crying and smiling
We are Rich only on TV
We are Rich only on newspapers.

Where are they says the leaders
Give them the remnants to eat
They deserves a natural glass of wine
And something to take as protein.

We are here living happily happy
With our swollen faces smiling
Lest we appear wretched on TV
Wearing rags with tissue papers.

Cleaning the toilets of our leaders
Inorder to afford bread to eat
We drank their pee as wine
And ate their poop for protein.
