REIGN OF TERROR
A peaceful protest takes quite a turnWhen special forces act without restraintWe’re patriotic ,in tears we singNot swayed by death and pain they’ll bring The cctv and lights go outAnd shutdown access to networks tooUnarmed,afraid ,yet very braveThey face the cycle to the grave These evil men sent from up aboveKilled 20 people as if…

CONFUSING TIMES
In these times of darkened pathsEerie shadows in the darkLuring austerity in larger clusters Leaving people confused and flustered There’s a scramble for the lightPeople searching for what is rightBurdened by their circumstances Robbed of work and their finance Depressed,dejected and feeling lostLooking for the bridge to crossAnd halt the feeling of growing lossThat’s hit the economy…
