A better place
It saddens me , the situation of my country.
Divided we are by religion and ethnicity.
A place where the rich man gets away with it.
And the poor, gets the jail indeed
Our leaders come and go with their pockets filled up like the rain fills the dry well.
Forgetting their main objective, living us all in a shell.

Isn't it unfortunate that the younger generation are suffering
But that of our parents bragged and claimed they were enjoying.
This is heartbreaking,
A 19 year old like me shouldn't be overthinking.
And don't tell me I am over reacting.
The issue is not so mild that I don't have the right in lamenting

We have graduates sitting at home without jobs,
They pay lip service they provide, yet ain't enough.
Our land is being wrecked by insecurity
We see their kids in their flashy cars having serenity
2+2 can actually be 3,
Cause someone had a phonecall with you know WHO?


This is not what they fought for,
It isn't what they strived for,
I yearn for a better place.
