They seek power; we need the power
A government is nothing without a power
With flavoured mouths, they beg for the power
Withdrawing favours is their aim once they gain the power
Being empowered, they unpower us and leave us with just powder
Left with powder, we become weak to question our own rulers
Life seems hard, inflation climbs things, here we are
With patience we wait, hoping for a life that's nicer
And to survive, we struggle; looking fine because of powder
Who is to be blamed, you or I, who voted them into power?
It was good, our fathers claimed: in their time, they lived in pleasure
To become better, we children pray without any measure
God's intervention we pray, for the best, so that our children live in affluence with no seizure.
