Who Is In A Cage

I went to attend a meeting in a park, A meeting of a leader, the ruling power, Addressing the people, both in dark, Promising to make a bright future. The leader delivered his emotional address, Looking angry and in a tone of rage, Grievances of the people he must redress, A leader secured and confined in a cage. Promising to finish the energy short falls, Promising to remove religious insanity, Promising to punish the lawless jackals, Promising to re-build federal integrity. And a lot of many other promises, Regretting he couldn't do anything, Because he inherited a state in distress, An empty treasury having nothing. The innocent people were excited, Their leader, not merely a leader, a saint and sage, Long live, long live, slogans they shouted, The leader or the public, who is in a cage?
