When Government Becomes

When government

becomes the problem,

not the solution,

what do we do?

When it shatters

the public trust,

should we accept it?

When it robs

our present,

must we validate it?

When it spreads

its corruption menace

should we applaud it?

When a coalition

with a party known

for money politics

as its leader

adopts unprincipled

political practices,

should we support it?

Must we

should we

bear the burden

of its blunders

and pay the price

of erosion of our

constitutional human rights,

the deterioration

of our national competitiveness

the destruction

of quality of life,

security,peace 

and public law

and the decline

in educational standard

of our schools and universities?

When it grabs

power at a state

without the people consent,

should we keep quiet?

Are there no laws

and principles

to outlaw such open

show of arrogance

such raw usurpation

in our modern society

that practises parliamentary

democracy?

Should we

not all rise up

and condemn

it to safeguard

and preserve

our consititutional right

and freedom

to vote for

representatives of 

our choice?
