When?

Little games of chess
Each of us trying to checkmate the other
Using any tool available
Manipulation
Vote banks
Bribes
Just to stay in power
Nobody seems to care about us
The common people can go jump off a cliff 
The economy is in trouble
There are so many mouths to feed 
But no means to earn salaries 
Women are not safe
I just don't know where we are going 
I'm scared 
And confused 
What if the next person to come to power 
Does the same 
After making hollow promises 
To improve the state of this state
The country lies bleeding
When will her wounds be tended to?
When?

The Bilge Master
