I looked to the clouds above
And found the answers to life
But when I turned my gaze earthwards
The answers were all drowned
Amidst the drudgery
Of struggling for survival
To live from day to day
Keeping my nose above the waters
Bolting my doors
Against the wolf of inflation
That threatens to swallow the fruits
Of my blood, sweat and tears
The grains for my golden years
And I pray that my country
Would not be run to the ground
By bigots, liars and thieves
Masquerading as leaders
And champions of their communities
Beseeching citizens to mix racially
While creating walls to separate them
Threatening the book of ISA and sedition
At those who dare question their actions
Preaching piousness and honesty
While plundering the public coffers
They should be protecting
Under the guise of development
They preach righteousness
Loyalty and adherence to the rule of law
While wealthy felons pay their way
Out of judgment
To freely commit more sins
But the shackled citizen
Hears no voice speaking out for him
For it is drowned by a rowdy mob
Paid for by impunity
