Our Honorable Ministers

Thumping of desks and crossing of floors

Pouring out in the paper, a recital of one’s woes

Bitter exchanges between leaders great and small

Don’t they remind us, all of a brawl

Evading the taxes, currying for favors

Having a will that off and on wavers

Speaking ill of all and good of the self

Is that to show their power and their pelf?

Calling names in public and face to face too

Trying to cheat the people and give them their due[?]

Did I hear you say that, that was something new?

O! Lord save my land from the greedy few..

Trying to oust from power all who flout their will

Trying to make the climb rather be downhill

Is that really what our ministers are out to get

Their success will be costly, one can safely bet

The task that our honourable leaders are now engaged in

Is disintegrating the party, and causing quite a din

Their policy is complicated, their each word a snare

The country’s chances of progress seam bleak and indeed rare..
