Once
it was a small party
Battling
hard to get the recognition
On
the street to protest publicly
Marketing
its plans and strategies
Once
it got its uplift to society
The
flow of wealth came to steady its existence
For
years it went to modernise its outlook
Telling
the people to trust the party
Once
it got its mandate to rule
The
beginning was a bit rough sailing
With
years of trying to balance it
The
battle of moderation got its way
Once
its tasted the power of success
It
came with the absolute power base
The
party leaders became arrogant
They
didn't remember the struggles
Once
it ruled by decades
The
milking of the wealth became obvious
Awarded
contracts to cronies and linked companies
You
helped me I helped you foundation
Once
the party grows lopsided
The
ground becomes shaky and uncontrol
The
scandals begin to tarnish its image
It
becomes thick headed
Once
the years of mobility
Now
it becomes grounded in fat
The
lean machine once it was
The
symptoms of decadence grow
