LISTEN

Watch them all
Listen when deserted barrels fall
Detonating our ear drum
Listen as manifesto slum
Listen to the people's pain
But everyone talk of gain

So much noise already
So much empty barrels ready
So large without oil
As vacancies grow like boil
Even the seats of the Rulers
Clamour like market sellers
Listen to our Rulers bargain
To sell our Father land and explain
