At Helm Of Power

I\'m so lucky to be from the green city in the sun

Where green plants wilt in plenty of rainfall

A desert of moral vitues

Where a thousand busk in the million\'s pain

We are in power, so we are the Lords

It\'s seductive

Sometimes lucrative

Till you hear the knocks of ugly coups

Then bloodshed

I\'m so lucky to be from a country

Where electorate preference is for thieves and swindlers

When they rise to power

It\'s time for revenge and looting

Freedom is written in the books

But never to be found in our hearts

Many words are easier said 

Than being done

The nation sinks

In the dirt mire of tribal fragments 

My tribe is in power so I\'m

But we all beg for bread with tears

Tommorow is the swearing in of our new old governor

Polls statistics were electronically counted during blackout

No, we don\'t count votes

We say they were stolen

Like magma boiling underground

The nation is overthrown by power maniacs

All juries suffer from academic affiliations

Smoke kisses the skies
