the frogs croak in the rain

 

The frogs croak in the rain

Listening for favours to pour in

Dreaming of the easy way out of life

In the jostling of power to take the price


There is silence in the air

The frogs can't hear a sound of play

The bag men aren't coming today

They are busy engineering to stay


The incompetence in work

It will not bring good cheers

The leaders have failed in their tasks

They spend time to hold on to power


The frogs croak in the rain

They see a way out for them

If only the bag men come a calling

They may want to sink into it


Now they can only listen

The rain cry the wind brushing it away

Leaving the marks of the echo in the minds

The back door has no reason to stay
