the breakdown in the filter systems


Once the pond is crystal clear water
You can even see right at the bottom
The colours of many fishes swimming
You can count every one of them

The filter systems in working order
Pumping in clean water pumping out dirty water
The cycle moves in unison every minute of the day
You can watch the elements in foreplay

The cats stay at a distance
Afraid to go near afraid of the guard
Standing alert watching with his eyes
With baton in his hands the cats move away

Decades down the road
The changes from good to bad
The pond now looks dirty
The filter systems failed to operate

The fishes dare not swim up
There is no splashing of joy
The cats stand at the edge
Waiting to catch the fishes

Now the guard has his wad of cash
Counting it everyday feeling money high
He has less to worry but more in his pockets
This must be life” he says

The breakdown of the filter systems
The nation will keep crying
The bad elements keep pushing
People break your addiction and change!
