The Broken Economy

The prices rise, the wages fall
The people struggle to survive
The rich get richer, the poor get poorer
The gap between them grows so wide
The debts pile up, the savings shrink
The bills are more than they can pay
The jobs are scarce, the skills are obsolete
The hopes and dreams are swept away
The hunger gnaws, the sickness spreads
The health care system is a mess
The education fails, the crime prevails
The violence and corruption never rest
The leaders lie, the people sigh
The democracy is just a sham
The protests grow, the riots blow
The streets are filled with blood and flames
The economy is broken, the society is shaken
The future is uncertain and grim
The people need a change, a vision and a plan
To restore their dignity and freedom.
