Trouble within
Greed and selfishness,
Trademark of a nation
Misery and hopelessness,
burden of its people
Yesterday oppressed,
Today’s oppressors
Who shall we blame,
If no our own self?
Who shall we blame,
If not our own people?
Paradigm of failure,
Archetype of frustration
Cited as example
Of everything gone wrong
No value,
No respect
Who shall we blame,
If not our own self?
Who shall we blame,
If not our own people?
