the drum beats

Have you heard the drum beats Fernando?
It sound so far away capturing your imagination
You tuned your ears to listen the music ringing
Into the room you sit and listen

There are traffic jams in the city
All roads leading to Parliament
The uniformed police staging blockade
In anticipating of demonstrations

Perception and gut feeling
The police took legal order
Plastering on prominent sign boards
Telling the people
No road to Parliament…..
And we pay them to treat us
The pain of our lives!

The drum beats keep on beating
In the day into the silence alleys
The police think we are stupid
Paying them making us suffering pain

And we have taxi Nazi
Screaming “I am the lord in Parliament”
Like what we see in KLIA taxis
Touting and over-charging people
Bad name for the country

Life will not be the same
Even Parliament sits and leaks
Spending millions on renovations
It cries too
For the country and her people

And the sleeping administration
Stoned in magic land………..
Seeing stars and glitters
And the drum beats in the distance
