A greedy storm has struck our nation
Exposing the soul of trust to invasion
Selfish tide rises and;
Defiles all regulations

Sense of brotherhood cast into ocean
Hatred ascend like king, pleading
Behold overwhelming crowd doing is binding
All that matters is social glamour
Eliding to the wind, cloak of honour

Wickedness feeds on milk ness
Stifling the growth of kindness
Looters of our treasures adorned
Dragging to Hades, the snobs

Mediocrity accorded a solemn recognition
So merit slips into a swampy dungeon
Lip one kissed with smiles
Now bite hard with reckless pride

Cups once exchanged with love
Now overflowing with venom of grudges
Poverty treading on parapet of woes
Those who bear no longer the stroke

Fled to milky safer lands
Wingless termites alone in pangs
Some wingless termites via deserts
Hoping to find the blessed earth

How we mourn over our fate
Amidst the multitude of faith
Let the trustful raise set the pace
With commitment to The God we praise

Until the vain of deceit is by
Non-can removes trusting light
Seeking the perfect word of the Creator
Of TRUST and Perfect LOVE.
