In this stanza I want us to be the government's eyes,
Become their lenses since you only see fools,
Observe how they avoid being daily crucified
By citizens that are not satisfied
And they are never or ever will be.
Watch how they nurture these big babies
That are always hungry and needs to be constantly fed
And also deal with rebellious teenage parents who never "cared"
And strikers who use violence to seek attention and to be heard.

In this stanza we will be their mouth and actions that respond.
We'll soothe the country's needs first, as for individual wants, they're postponed,
Reason being we can't act upon all requests,
It's hard like seeking brand new conquests
And we also have to deal with earlier vandalism acts
Done by the strikers, before that we must get all the straight facts.
I guess you now understand how the government operate,
So it wouldn't **** to be patient and cooperate.
Citizens open your eyes and see that you are walking backwards,
Instead work with government and stop destroying hospital wards.

In this stanza we shall be the ears
That will listen to complains, cries and fears,
Listen to the education issue
As they claim the quality is of a cheap tissue,
Meaning the education is poor and there we have to disagree.
If they said we're levels behind then we would agree
But it's not about being behind, it's all about being devoted
But these days education is like an unwanted baby and is aborted
And if we think about it that is one wrong that will never be corrected
Because education is no longer as important as being connected.
I'm scared to say our future is corrupted.

Now we will be the government's words
That won't make excuses but give reasonable response.
Education in this country colours it black as coal
Because we discover drugs in each and every school
And the kids thinks that's actually being cool,
Then there is this students and teachers relationship
Then you wonder why education is a sinking ship.
When a child is constantly failing they blame the department,
They blame the teachers and claim they lack commitment.
If that is the case, how are the other pupils passing?
This is one of the biggest issue the government is facing.

Let us not even touch employment
Because that is one category with no development.
I think I should end here for today because the files of unemployment are in a big case
And if nothing is done I wonder what the future has in her purse.
I don't see anything good as long as we have this selfish mentality curse.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I'm in a thousand winds that blow,
I'm in the softly falling snow.
I'm the gentle showers of rain,
I'm the fields of ripening grain.
I'm in the morning hush,
I'm in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I'm the starshine of the night.
I'm in the flowers that bloom,
I'm in a quiet room.
I'm in the birds that sing,
I'm in each and every lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.

Once again I am sentenced without proof
All trust gone, disappeared like ****!
But I don't blame her
I mean I hurt her.
From where she is standing I can see her view
And it's very clear.

My crime will not be cheating,
I broke a verbal agreement,
A promise I made.
I promised to put her first above the rest,
I promised to never lie
Nor to make her cry,
I promised to love her more than her love for her hair
But I broke all these promises in just one event,
An event I could easily prevent.

I guess I should go stand in the queue
With her previous men and enjoy the view,
Watch another man do what I couldn't do,
Make her smile and take her out,
Make memories and take selfies with a pout!
And 100 pics with one particular pose,
Buy her a flower especially a rose,
Make love to her and be addicted to her moan,
Admire her like the moon.

I made my bed
I guess I should sleep in it,
But before that...
Is it too late to say sorry?

Dear Self
If you're not doing what you love, then you're simply wasting your time. Life is too short. Do what you love.

Dear Self
If you quit right now, you will end up where you first began. Remember you when you first began, you were desperate to get to where you are now. You've come so far, don't quit!!!
