POLITRICIAN’S TRICKS

I need to feel the sun

I need to feel the sun in my land

I don’t need blankets

When it is too hot for clothes

 

I need to drink water

I need to drink potent water

I need no liquor

When thirst warns to drown me in the sea of death

 

I don’t need fake drugs.

I don’t need fake drugs

Which help fill your coffers

I need food from the land to quench my hunger

 

I don’t need promises

I don’t need fake promises

From mouths chanting in suits

I need action which will seal good bonds of living

 

So politricians

You are no electricians to fix light

Just think of managing resources to get the fee

And let those who matter do the works as your pockets look the opposite.
