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?

Valid questions raised in this poem as I in a developed nation would raise others, the obverse of what good is development where many don't experience it, where it uses its strength to bully less developed nations and threaten other strong nations where corruption runs rampant and and development is bought by loss of freedom.
Very correct
Yes, if a nation is rich in materials, you just know it is going to get exploited.
You can see why populations are on the move all around the world.
Yes true
Thank you for your contribution to the fusion
