People were dying
Your people
The people you promised
To protect
You swore to protectPeople were dying
You were hiding
Pretending it doesn't exist
Pretending if you turn a blind eye
It wont catch your eyeProple were dying
But you were riding it out
In peace
Inside
Ignoring the deafening screamsPeople were dying
Where were you?People were dying
From floods
Where is the money
For drainage system
Which you promised to repairDo you hear them now?
The Banshee
The harbinger of death
Pays hourly visit to your state
Her screams telling you
The sadness
The grief of familesCan you hear them now?
Now that you made useless shrines
Now where are the tombs
Of the defeted
Of Your people
Of your family.Will you hear them now?
The children scream from hunger
Their parents yearn for your help
The help you promised
That help did not reach them
Did it get lost on the way?
Or you simply
Did not careNow You want votes
Well guess what
Now we turn a blind eye
And show you the door
Coz thats where all of you go
In the end
At the end of your reign.
