the patronage system

 

The patronage system

It has to be broken free

It doesn't bring good cheers

As a whole for the people and nation


Growing up it was the talk

How good a cable one can get?

With it things or projects can move easily

No need to queue for hours to get in


Long ago I was in the bank

Waiting for my turn to get to the counter

A woman whom I knew came over

Why wait? Come over here!”


She jumped the queue for me

Because she knew the officers at the bank

This is how the cable works in everyday life

Fix the cable tasks can move quickly


Has it changed today?

The patronage system still exits

Especially in the political system

It plays right through with it
