In My Country.

In my country

There are learned hyenas

With fancy robes made of silk

No one gets as rich as them

They are at the helms of power

They make the law, they make the people conform to them

Illiterates ruling literates - What an irony!

 

In my country

There are rich poor -

Those that are poor but rich in their class

They consider themselves the comfortable poor

But in the eye of the economy

They are poor, not even average

Then think about the really poor

Think about how poor they must be

 

In my country

There are people with goals - big and outstanding goals

Coupled with intellects to achieve them

But they lack, not in labour or space

They lack capital, they lack the government's backing

 

In my country,

Permanence is the motto

Even if you want to move out

There are barely any spaces left

The rich never allow building more rich people like them

Those in government never want to leave a position

Even if they leave

Their offspring succeeds them

 

In my country

There are people like us

Who wants change, who crave success and moving forward

Prayers in mind and hard work in hand

We hope to break this curse of stagnancy

So help us, God. Amen

 

Thank you for your time.

My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.

Still me,

My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.
