A nation dreams

As a nation dreams

No one realises that I  feel caged,

hope of a billion, today I am filled with rage,

For once we earned a hard fought independence,

Now abound by sleaze I seek repentance,

As the election tussle reignites,

Clamor for an Utopian society rise,

Solutions aplenty these aspirants devise,

But who would stand up and give a strong fight,

While our country liberates,

I find only a few who are considerate,

For its progress, the outlook at best is bleak,

Dwelling in the past, only votes they seek,

I have no appetite for mediocrity,

All on offer is absurdity,

In the name of a crusade,

The citizens are being absorbed into a wasteful tirade,

For there is a man in sight,

With a promise, that's watertight,

Enough and many arguments I heard,

None convincing enough that we need to be perturbed.
