POWER

Sheryffat

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.
