the light dim people stay awake

Where is the rice?
Long time shine
We use it so often
Now it runs out of stock

Where is the officer?
Sitting in the cool office
Never know the ground situation
When it is too late
Running out to investigate

Where is the neighbor?
Minding own business
Let others find their ways
Sitting in the house
Looking at his stockpile

Where is the government?
Dreaming about corridors
Using jets to travel across country
Sometimes overseas

Where is the cost of living?
It hits hard in the pockets
Digging holes hard to meet
The tears flow mind of despair
The people wake up to know

Where is the businessman?
Counting his money smiling to the bank
The demand high supply down
The quick profit the government and people pay

Where is the soul?
The good, the bad and the comedian
Struggling hard to meet
The days of scarcity of food
