We Are Usually Not Aware
We are usually not aware
Of those things that cause despair
As long as they aren't shares of spoils
No one toils and moils
Like the menaces against our local farmers
We are not aware
The lives reported dead at the Toll Gate
We are not aware
The cause of the floods that ravage our communities
We are not aware
Just like milk that spoil when it stays too long
No political party should be allowed to stay for long
Three years and a term should be enough
The desired four years and two terms are always rough
Let's call a spade a spade
Maybe our leaders are happy at the sight our blood on their blade
The desperation that caresses their quest for power
Proves that they'll become intoxicated with veto power
The singular cause of our despair
Is their nonchalant attitude to repair
Except for the shares of booties
They didn't aspire to render civic duties
