no more cheap

Petrol hike
The people have no choice
When the coffers are empty
Some one has to sacrifice

Prices of goods and services
It will hike up discreetly
No fanfare no argument
Empty pocket pay the price

The government we elected
The promises a sweet talk gone
Now it hurts in the empty pocket
Only the providers get the sweet
The people get the junk

It is inevitable in our lives
Listening to warm good speeches
The modern conmen on the prowl
Fishing for votes we are silly to give

Now the whirring protests
The subsidies going to be naught
Leaving only a breathless smoke
Emptying pocket feeling the heat
Of everyday living
