buying time

In 2004 to 2008
What had he done for the country?
Now he says he maintains the same pace
Nothing will be happening!

Announcing his transition of power
He baits for time to walk his pace
Let the running dogs barking loudly
And see what will happen?

24 months many things can happen
It is a long time to pass the baton
Running on the field in circle
Puffing hard the journey looks the same

Walking on his own paces
He can’t run a far
So be baits his time
The deputy will not get his chance
He will lose his crown by the time 2 years arrive
He will be casting away into the quiet sea

Power in the mind
Tasting it brings in the greed
Now he can unleash the running dogs
One of them has gone overdrive
Trying to bring down his former master
He thinks he has the ammunition now

The politicians don’t believe 100%
They can twist and plot a game
Suiting their own plate of power
They will do anything to stay

The sleeping beauty thought he has his way
Plotting it he could buy some time
You can hear the running dogs saluting the master
This is the way it would have done

The artist and his unfinished portrait
He knows he can’t see the full face
Shadowing figures keep disturbing his concentration
He gives up and takes his walk

And he never returns
He is somewhere listening to peoples’ talk
In the coffee shop
