The master of our nation<br>
In our face and all facets<br>
Our progress’ pace, it dictates.
<p>Now it’s normal, by christening<br>
Made formal by rebranding<br>
Existing laws are bypassed<br>
News ones? Not needed!</p>
<p>Clerics, step up your say!<br>
Teachers, justify your meagre pay!<br>
The young minds must be disabused!<br>
Its high time this game ceased!</p>
