Dedicated to all the nations where democracy still struggles.

1x

Justice staggering on slippery rocks

Liberty stifling in the armpit of rogues

Merit coercely relegated to backseats

Corruption pillaging deeper than acids

City gates dewalled by broken promises

Abandoned projects yawn in premises.

Holes like dead sea on bloodthirsty roads.

To us they say jump and pass like toads.

Dead bodies littered the ground like flies

While the elect live in the palace's peaceful ties.

2x

Touch not the voted, do them no harm

Like star devoid of night,it's without glory.

Toddlers in power, dressed in adult attire

Old men twisting youths to die like matyrrh

With human bloods they water their greed

Bequeathing bright future to their spoilt kids.

3x

The Nation is like a car driven by amateur driver.

Economic flat tyre in the middle of nowhere

Surrounded by bandits and terrorists at still

The driver blames preceding drivers in guilt

Witch-hunt nobly dressed as patriotism

Outspoken voices gag cause of criticism

A tale of a nation, searching for identities.
