Politics

A game without scrupulous agenda
Where the truth is hidden beneath propaganda
An avenue of power tussle
Where hands meet in the pot soup

An abyss of moral peak
Through which our economy leaks
It only favors the beasts
While the masses income decrease

Employment is now a platitude
Insecurity topple in multitude
Youths mortality becomes a certitude
And our money is spent on barbecue

Education suffers leprosy
Less rationality, more lunacy
The youths clamoring for change
Their future captured in a cage

In the echelon of cruelty
Politics ranks high in popularity
The facade of multidimensional issues
And, background of societal evils
