How else do we discuss this matter?
Should we address it now or keep it for later?
We have voiced our concerns, wasted our data
These lots have used our heads as a ladder
They share our resources and still use us as banter
We called them to serve but they always falter
They keep harvesting the land, yet they pour no water
The land is crying foul like the heel haul cry of a donkey braying
We are tired, we showed little efforts and less praying
The child of the rich is scrambling for bread crumbs
The daughter of a king is walking on barefoot
The chiefs of the land are with titles but no influence
The situation we have found ourselves as a nation
This is a deep reality and never a notion
Suffering and smiling, yet scared for our dear lives
I weep for those who sacrificed for our country
How they would be turning in their graves too
How do we arrest this tide? What a shame
Yes, it is shameful and that's the name
We have no significance as a nation, just the fame
Age without maturity, fame without relevance
We should model strong economies and turn up our game
There are so many who reap from the decadence of the system
So they would never want things to get better
And they are the ones at the helm of affairs of the country
The system is corrupt and as you cut down one, another sprout
We need to stop creating a better world for our children
As it stands, that might be near impossible with this decadence
But rather, let us build better children for our world
They can go on and create the world we desire
We have failed on all fronts and what a shame!

Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.
