Shortage and want in the land,
Doom and gloom permeate our nation
Scarcity and lack everywhere
Renewed hopelessness
Biting and killing us
Yet,
They party and merry unabated
Cruise and live lavishly

Depression and disillusion everywhere
Starvation and deprivation lingers
Stagnation and retrogradation of all
Inflation and escalation of everything
Hunger relocating us to the cemetery
Yet,
Enough for their greeds
None for our needs
