Oily Faces versus Ugly cases

Like a hen and her brood
We, the followers, scratch out a living from our national soil
But our leaders are not scratching with us
They are digging with the machinery of Government
And finding massive oil deposits
The pipes they construct meander away from our locations
To theirs and their banks
No wonder the papers are full of smiling leaders with oily faces
And unsmiling followers with ugly cases!


Dedicated to us, the followers, the masses as we like to call ourselves
