A Failed Nation

The symptoms are more clear now
The centre can no longer hold
Our nation is at deathbed
The nation is failing

Corrutption is the new normal
In some quarters even formal
Being honest is now abnormal
The nation is failing

Integrity is no longer desired
But rather openly disdained
"Our time to eat" is glorified
The nation is failing

Amorphous and ficticious projects
Man made shortages and conflicts
Have been the government edicts
The nation is failing
