In the halls where power is sweet,
Lies and whispers form a deceit,
Promises made with a crooked smile,
Trust betrayed in the grandest style.
The people’s hope crushed by greed,
Leaders who ignore their creed,
Silver tongues and golden chains,
Freedom lost, democracy feigns.
Votes are bought with dirty gold,
Truths untold, secrets sold,
Justice weeps in silent grief,
As corruption reigns, a ruthless thief.
Yet in the dark, a spark of light,
Voices rise to reclaim the right,
For in the hearts of those oppressed,
Lives a dream that won’t be suppressed.
