the photographs on the wall

The photographs on the wall

The smiling faces through the years

It never fails to attract a view

When history walks through with it

The icons once they grace

Once they had the power to rule

The nation and her people

The governance of stability

But there was one face

He appeared in many cartoons

The people got a laugh or two

The bad hits in today's chart

He got us into his mess

The cronies, greed and corruption

Nobody wanted to take responsibility

It was thought it was the game

Now the crops have grown

The bad trees of parasites grow

It eats into the trunk difficult to let go

A mess the nation comes to realize

Now the bad name for the nation

The scandals of looting wealth away

No agency finds any fault in it

The corruptors are still walking free

But the truth keeps pushing

Today other nations bring it to the fore

There is no escape now

The liars better wake up their games
