YE PREACHER OF IT'S GETTING BETTER!

 

*********************************

Ye preacher of 'it's getting better

Come, let me ask you

Is it anywhere near better now?

For decades, you have been preaching this 

Then, they fought and broke the mace 

Now, they fought and carted away the mace 

They were eager to rule for selfish interest 

We, we are eager to rule for personal interest 

Them, they had visions

We, we don't have vision 

Them, they borrowed a little

We, we are borrowing more than we can pay 

Then, slavery 
Now, modern slavery 
Then, secession
Now, secession and rejection 

Then, unemployment was subliminal

Now, it has reached a crescendo

Then, few went abroad for greener pastures

Now, all and sundry are eager to go abroad

Then, the exchange rate was good 

Now, it keeps on getting worse 

Then, our education standard was high 

Now, no standard is found in our education 

Then, thieves get a conscience 

Now, they are heartless 

Ye preachers of 'it's getting better'

Should I go on? 

However, you may be right! 

Maybe I misconceive your notions 

We are getting better in looting 

We are getting better in crimes

We are getting better in bribery and corruption

Yes, are we not getting better? 

Rapist cases on the increase 

Tribalism keeps getting stronger

Our young ladies are into prostitution

Our youths become devil's vices 

Perpetrating high-level evils 

Ye preachers of getting better 

If your definition of getting better is otherwise 

Then, we are not getting better.
