the 2 snakes

Snakes in schools
Snakes in the city
The bites seem familiar
Delay treatment lost of life

Clean the compound
Throw away dry leaves and rubbish
Throw away empty bins and cups
Stacked up everything properly

The city folks are familiar
With the liars on the corridor
The dishonesty has no shame
They still walk proud and arrogant

They think we owe them plenty
They forget we are the ones who make or break
The power in their hands come from us
The ordinary people fighting to live in harmony

But the rural folks forget
They keep up the rubbish and lies
For a token of a miserable sum
They forget how to live

We have to sweep clean the minds
Let there be a new horizon to climb
Enough of the one way ticket
We have to break free

The snakes on the ground
Lithe away with hungry eyes
Don't provoke me I will bite
You don't want it to happen
