A single bread to eat
Shared between a family
Perched on earthen seat
The dry months
The dry mouths
The hungry depraved
What have YOU given?
What have you taken?
To your silent grave.
Glimering, glittering Chairs
Red pens, marks, signatures
Demanding; approving colonists
Feeding pigs with fake dentures
And they wonder "what prices?"
What labels and what gods?
Why recession, ineffectiveness
One dime gamed, two dimes lost
Where is the food?
Where is the key?
Where are the streets?
WHO cares?
What of their needs?
Where is the promised smile?
Where are the promised crops?
What happened to the negotiations?
You stuffed it in your socks?
You forgot the families
While working on your lies
You fight for Janpath lane
While the poor deprived dies
Welcome to masspolitial disorder
Here disoriented beings have sworn to bring order
And then the common man lays back and wonders
Why us? WHO? US? WHy?
