the spices of life 35


Night Market full of yummy food









Prices hike
The people will pay
Though the officials will say
“We are cheaper than Singapore!”

These officials will not say
Singaporeans earning X times more
They quietly forget to tell you
Sitting in their cool offices

The daily suffering
The people have to go through
Prices hike causing misery

Now the publicity hunt
Hawkers' Associations say no price hike
Diffusing the situation for a while
Until slowly increasing price

The people will bear the costs
Living through their lives
Yet they government never cut expenses
Billions on mega projects

So now we know
The government sweet talking
The leaders don't do what they preach
The people change the way
