Can anything come out of my Nation?

Can anything good come out from my nation?

People gnashing their teeth

Crying until their eyes fall

Looking for gibberish to eat ;

All because of hunger 

Hunger strike and famine;

The order of the day

They came out under the scotching sun;

 and the cat and rat beating rain

all to vote for leaders;

leaders who have nothing to offer

Painful and sad

that my nation is caged;

despite her independence 

Underdeveloped ;

despite developing 

Basic amenities unavailable

Hiking fuel prices 

causing high blood pressure 

The greatest  producer of natural resources

yet lack natural resources 

Infrastructures not looking like structures

yet commissioning it

with nine figures

hiding in their pocket

Going for medical vacation 

in  another land because ;

of poor medical facilities 

We can count bad ;

but less good

I ask again

Can anything good come out from my nation?
