Withered in Youth

I sat in thy seat,

Hoping thou shall see,

I sat in thy seat,

Hoping thou shall speak,

I sat in thy seat,

Hoping thou shall act...

I cried in thy seat,

Seeing thou turn blind,

I cried in thy seat,

Seeing thou turn deaf,

I cried in thy seat,

Seeing thou turn dumb...

Thou soul has turned weak,

My soul has settled for meek,

We dwindled at our peak...

Hatred, disenfranchisement,

Mockery, intimidation, nepotism,

Democracy, how have you and I become,

Hypocrisy of a withering civilization?
