               KLEPTOCRACY


I live in a country
Rule by able men and women
Who are disable-minded.
In a country
Where we are called
Called to pay for a monkey on the tree
Where the Sixth ages
Rule with corruption and bribery.
One man in his own time
Syponed the societal treasury
He has forgotten once exist leader(s)
------Ah! Whoever doesn’t know him
         Bad! Only needs to know a butcher
         Ah! He went into slaughter…but was
         Carried dead on a stretcher
         He did not imprison the treasoners
         And killed the non treasoners.
They have forgotten that
There is someone greater than them.
Everyday is for the pilferer
A day is for the owner.
As for me --- O.Henry,
The fall of a dead leave
Is a warning to the green ones.
