Rotten meat sold in the shops
Who can request for toothpicks these days?
Candy stores are closed
People are suffering from tooth decay.
Heaven has lost its eye
Now how will we make hay?
No one wishes to face the blackboard
Teachers are the first to play.
The backbone of our crown is damaged
But the King refuses to go for an X- ray
Our castle doors are never locked
I see no guards at the entry.
Our young birds wish to catch worms
But they never leave their nests early.
Nuns are a ghost in our land
Our young women refuse to be like the Virgin Mary
I see old men digging graves
To rest their young bones.
They watered the bush
That kept the eggs of a python.
Now they watch their toddlers die of poison.
