Messengers of Poverty

The people we have entrusted our mandate
those we thought would lead us to the promised land have become messengers of poverty

They are kleptomaniacs par excellence who have plundered our treasuries
milk our nation dry and drove us to recession

Our once thriving economy now a history

Their loots they've invested and are boosting  other countries' economies

We've been reduced to penury and our currency worthless
they've brought untold hardship on innocent people whose only crime was believing in them

The smokescreen is pointing accusing fingers on unseen enemies
who are being accused for things they know nothing about

We can only deceive ourselves but we know who they are
those who are truly the harbingers of bankruptcy also known as agents of stagnation

But can best be described as the Messengers of Poverty.
