the dark valley 5

The villagers sink
Sink on routine works
Works to get a living
Living on sweat and hard labour

When ruling elites arrive
Arrive with branded cars and body guards
Guards to pose as running dogs
Dogs to bark to intimidate

The villagers feel obligated
Obligated receiving the meager funding
Funding to hard labour on ground
Ground they plough let them occupy

The dark valley of deceits
Deceits to fool the villagers
Villagers simple life routines
Routines to survive on their land

The ruling elites of the dark valley
Valley to pursue black gold to wealth
Wealth in illegal journey
Journey to bankrupt the nation

Nation of natural resources
Resources for her people to survive
Evenly distributed to build goodwill
Living in harmony making the country proud

Yet the dark valley
The songs of sorrow linger
Of cries and discrimination
Of decades under a corrupted party

The dark valley
The light can't penetrate totally
The minds and souls of the people
Gated into crumbs of surviving

As the branded cars drive away
The smoke of smog linger a while
The villagers wave goodbye
“We aren't stupid anymore!”
