What's left of this land?

What's left of this land?
Where the security forces intimidate and abuse,
Where the security forces take sides,
Where one is guilty until proven other wise,
Where the security forces are political pawns.

What's left of this land?
Where money and power will set you free,
Where serious crimes are like a movie,
Where political misuse of power is rampant,
Where honour has a price.

What's left of this land?
When the rule of law is missing,
When the corrupted are ruling,
When rules are bent and broken for personal gain,
When the very people entrusted to judge are questionable.

What's left of this land?
When royalty take sides,
When the voices of the people is nothing,
When tyrants are running the show,
When the citizens are ignored.

What's left of this land?
Where promises of prosperity, freedom and justice once prevail,
Where bad apples are trying to divide us,
Where law and constitution are turning into a playground,
Where honour is but a distant memory.

What's left of this land?
Where i had great dreams of,
Where i wanted to see become great,
Where time is fast running out,
Where we're all turning into a joke.

What's left of this land?
How can we be free?
When can justice prevail?
Where is our hopes and dreams?
Who can answer me?
