the potholes in our lives


The potholes in our lives
We envy other nations well
Even across the South of the border
She has nothing but she is economically strong

Without natural resources
The country's leaders make her tall
As the financial hub for the world
She has a strong currency fundamentals

We can't match her
We fail miserably on our own
We let our opportunity run away
We forget to change our minds

We pick the bad leaders
All the decades of the nation's history
Look at the ministers and cronies
They are rich beyond their means

No authority dares to question
It is left as though the laws don't count
There are 2 types of law
One for us; one for them

And so the nation falls
As we find out in our lives
We have our natural resources
We fail to make an impact

We pick the wrong leaders
They carted away wealth
Corruption and greed on the menu
You help me, I help you mantra

The potholes in our lives
We have to wake and change
Don't be afraid to walk a new bridge
As least we know we make it!
