the year comes to an end

Finally the year comes to an end

The year of many footprints for many

The stories of lies and bad intentions

The Pied Piper songs filtered into our minds

The wastage of public funds

The silly excuses aired in the press

The admission of truth was so far out

Jet here jet there cost cutting a sorry affair

The illegal capital flight

Hundred of billions gone out country

The whisper of the wind

No denying that it had happened

The shape of the economy

The painted face of colours

The rural folks may not realize

Cash handouts they sold their votes

The ruling elites drove branded cars

The rural folks bicycles or motorbikes

They didn't see the difference

They thought they got a good bargain

The city folks made the huge cry

With feelings of angry eyes and minds

The wastage of public funding

The rampant leakages without a care

The unfair policies and practices

The silly slogans and many committees

The never ending possibilities

Nurturing just for a race

The story of our diversity and history

It seems to be put aside on the side road

This is the bridge to instill peace and harmony

We have to remember how this nation was formed

Tomorrow a new page to write

Thinking of the fairer deals in our lives

The just society and peaceful living

The wishes of many in a land of plenty
