Where Citizens Burn

In a world where
governments hold
the reins of fate. 
Entrusted to decide
for citizens -
the role so great. 
The growing
disillusionment,
a followers dark concern.
In the hearts of
the people,
a fire begins to burn.
Confidence has waned
in the social eye. 
Party politics,
Personal benefits
And
Private interests
Intertwine.
Over the welfare
Of the public,
Which is in decline.
A shift in perception,
a clouded view.
Social resentment
propagates
the storm ready to brew.
As we search for answers,
Seeking the truth,
Oh so many, and all too true. 
So why trust the governments?
When they all lie to you.
