What Do We Want As People And As Country

Philippines is in great danger right now I sense deceitfulness and betrayal here My leader is feeling great and proud It seems everything is in control He's doubling the greatness of his father Not in economy, infrastructures or legacy But in name shame, ill public trust issues Unabated corruption, nepotism and drug addiction I sense police suppression, abuse of power Rampant human right violation in highlight People are not blind to see leader's fallibility Of course not, my leaders have their heydays Powerful, untouchable in its high evil ways I feel if people react on the street with rages It's easy to declare a National emergency Put it in heightened red alert to the extreme Declaring force the state to Martial Law Which is patterned to his Father's declaration Much worse undeclared but under silent Marx rule. World Leaders are looking my country terribly With judgment under craziness and maligning Is my leader sane or in moron condition I hope not but very impressively foolish to say It's not even normal to say they're in demon possession I sense there's no living justice system here As if the 3 government branches are colluding When our former leaders are deprive their rights What's the protection of the laws for the lowly Where would my people go in case of chaos Hope China, US and Russia would help us What would happen to my country this time What if my people fight and find peace by revolt Where would my family, my friends, and my kin go Who do we turn to but God Almighty for prayer Would there be sacrificial lamb to appease rage Where would be another hero to unite my people Would there be civil war to make this country unite Would there be division among regions be made Think my leader where which to find solution Think my people what kind of country we want to be.
