The economic is globally declining,
Gradually,
Apparently,
But still they purport they are controlling,
So why should we have worries about it?

The political situation in many places is troubling,
Dazzling,
Bewildering,
But still they are seemingly contributing to something,
So why should we have worries about it?

Our environment is continuously destructed for selfish purposes,
For building,
For energy,
But still they are leading resplendently environment-friendly slogans,
So why should we have worries about it?

Expectedly and with precedent,
The massive recession, again, is coming,
The bad leadership, again, is hurting.

However,
The unprecedented global flood is submerging,
While you and me are sitting in front of TV watching debate,
And economic analysis.

Nobody is exempted from these imminent dilemmas.
Have you ever seen,
A group of prominent leaders “recklessly” caused these,
People in general help pay the debt innocently?

Do you dare to speak, stand up or continue being a puppet?
Just because you believe that,
The outcome is a foregone conclusion,
Or
When small efforts accumulate,
Every cloud would have a silver lining as well.
