No bread and only torn shoes

this is how the story goes

we have nurtured dictators

who have worked for their own mentors

 

jealousy and hatred

it has led

three wars for 50 years

it has proved our worst fears

 

why do we export violence?

and increase tension

for local people and neighbors

it leads nowhere

 

time waits for none

the past has gone

it is time to work for peace

and allow the people to have breath with an ease

 

no hollow threats

but greet

the people and ask for their welfare

it shall serve a purpose for the future

 

If rulers are corrupt

and not prompt

in responding to the future of the country

show them then the exit door rightly
