Our hands  heave

To harm and hamper,

Not to help and heal.

 

Not to assist

The damsel in distress

Instead feel refresh

In molesting mistress.

 

Not to weaken

The woes of widows

But apt to weaken

Their only credos.

 

Not to stop

The rape

But we are top

In viewing the naked tape.

 

We have destitution

In deleting the prostitution

But we are to the fore

In bargaining the whore.

 

Not to prohibit

The child labour

But not hesitate to inhibit

Their favour.

 

Not to curb

The poverty

But ready to disturb

The Poor’s liberty.

 

We use stick

To persecute the weak

We use flower

To adorn the tower.

 

Not to ameliorate

Law and order

But not fret to generate

Chaos and disorder.

 

We have temptation

To incur evil reputation

But we have palpitation

In getting good inspiration.

 

We praise

When our hands raise

To tarnish and damage

The image of sage.

 

We neglect

The existing institution

But we accept

The amendment of constitution.

 

What a  relief!

If our hands heave

To leave

Harm and hamper

But to help and heal.
