"How Much?"

How much can a nation take, while you sit up on your hill

Looking down at the sorrow, the suffering and pain

Have you had your fill?

How much can a nation take, while you skirt around the issues?

Filling the headlines with empty words and promises

For your crocodile tears, here's some tissues

How much can a nation take, while we watch our families suffer?

But you Sir are set for life

For us? Rising living costs are on offer

How much can a nation take, while you buy your time and your excuses?

When a leader cannot lead or progress

Then what more is he than usless?
