Like a beat-box, I paused without restraint,
being rueful of my state of seize-less tears,
because my fatherland has made us fatherless,
in the middle of an ocean.
Though they dream of a better nation,
but the foundation was faulty,
because tribalism was embedded rather than selflessness,
our leaders from the onset set their personal interest,
over the dying vast majority.
They claim of championing colonization,
but end up awakening a beast worst than colonization,
stagnancy and under-developing have the beast brought,
corruption and insecurity has he inject.
Making our lives more miserable than we were,
what an over-flowing tears my eyes have seen,
rueful about my dying life and those unborn,
why our leaders?
