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. « return. |
