Where Are They Now

where are they now
grief's are found on 
our streets
cos everyday our life's
are painted with struggles
our future is determined
by those involved In corruption
so I wonder how we could
be sure of a better tomorrow

where are they now 
from the look of things 
we are far from reality 
our efforts are just 
for the benefit of the elite 
is sad to see ourselves exist
by only in shadows

where are they now 
too much words was spoken 
too many promises were made 
to better our life's 
from the lips of our elite
we thought and believed
our hard life will be  eliminated
after their promises were made 
we expect an act of change 
afterwards by our new government
yet we only live to exist
still just in shadows

where are they now 
our mother are crying in grieves
our kids are growing up 
in real hardship
our people are not well educated
our basic need is a war 
I just wonder what happened 
to those 
with the  words of changed
where are they now

where are they now 
somebody lied 
somebody is play a fast game 
on our life's 
if where are they now 
they with the words of change
they with the promises of 
a new better days 
they that once stand as 
the god saint 


where are they now 
that we are dieing in hardships
now that our country is in more 
depression 
where are they now 
or was it it just another 
political game to rules again
it looks like we have been fooled
again
somebody had lied again 
if not in this hardship 
why are we left alone 
as I wonder those who 
we've given our trust in times
like this 
where are they now
