the frogs in our lives

 

The frogs in our lives

They will croak all the same tune

Developments for the constituencies

But the truth is for themselves


The frogs will give reasons

All the while never saying the truth

It is the wealth, power and joy

They should be honest with it


They don't say they lie to the voters

They stand on stage telling their promises

When all said and done they would change

When wealth is offered they can't ignore


Some may have been pressured

By the police or income tax officials

Of cases fake or true or incomplete tax returns

So they turn frogs to keep low on their faults


The frogs in our lives

They don't have the back-bones to fight

Once the blues gang hit their trails

They begin to bow and bargain to escape


It is better to fight for honour and integrity

Even one has to face prison to uphold a cause

Do not turn into a frog and give silly excuses

It will be the end of a person's political future
