the cheating game



The cheating game
We are into it
Nobody can't say
They are the saints

The politicians do
Talking lies with straight faces
When they are cornered
They say they are misquoted

The teachers will say
Work hard and do it well
The world is a tough arena
But they smoke their lives away

The parents will advise
Children study hard and conquer the world
The world is out there for you
In work they forget their own ethics

Lovers cheat
Husbands and wives
Boyfriends and girlfriends
Giving psycologists work to do

The children will act on it
They tell grand stories
Studying in the library
But they hook up in video arcades

Even beggars
They tell you how bad they are
Dirty looking dirty clothes
Hungry faces with chipped bowls

Some have fat bank saving accounts
Like the beggar in Kuantan
He says he can get $400/- a day
Posted on his Facebook page

Ordinary people
They will cheat to get away
Even bribing officials to turn a blind eye
On their distractions on the law

Even ordinary business houses
They will find ways to cut costs
Profits the main culprit
Giving out sub standard products

Somehow we all tolerate it
Even when we lodge reports
The officials will look concerned
Action will be long coming

One drawer in one drawer out
The cheating game will not go away
It is built in our DNA
God testing us every day
