How can a society breathe
When her lungs are darker
Than the ravel eagles that flees
In the darkest night
How can she see?
When her sight and memories
Is all blackness it breeds
How can the society feel
The dividends of good will
When her inhabitants are drunk of greed
How can the society meet her inhabitant's need ?
Where no more do they deem
Hard work and honesty has an essential thing
Now the society limps
And mostly crawling on her knees
To please reduce the debts at least
So weakly does her heartbeat
Is there redemption nearer scene?
As the monster ignorance devours the youths
Though slowly dips the truth
How can an asthmatic society breathe?
When her inhaler seems aloof
Poverty and unemployment bears her fruits and increase
As long as education is under siege
Will she ever be free ?
An appointed inhaler of the society
Before she cease to breathe
