We Regret by Nobody: 7:46pm On Sep 21, 2014

A lot of stories
a lot of lies
fingers pointing
no results

We remember those times when
they stood with hungry faces
clearly stricken by poverty
so we pitied them

They came to us with sweet words
saying they know our plight and
will fight for us
Lies!!! All lies!

With ink stains on our thumbs
and joy in our hearts
smiles on our faces
we put them in office

Crocodile tears of gratitude
hungry eyes of theirs
they looked at us and
praised us for "doing the right thing"

Days, weeks and years gone by
no sign of them close by
I hear they live in mansions
while we live in mud huts

They only come when they need us
they never feed us
nothing to show for our stains
stains on the thumbs put on paper

We regret the times we wasted
standing under the hot sun
shouting their praises,
we regret.

We regret the ink we allowed to touch us
the papers we put in boxes
yes we regret
we shall always regret
