Family favours favouritism
Mothers’ favourites,sons
Fathers’apple eyes,daughters
We smell lies

Lies’ tie tied around our cords
Teachers teaching cheat
Cheat cheating teachers
Corruption crisis
Broken walls falling
We smell lies

Law-makers lording law with lies
Lies lording law-makers’ laws
Clash of titans
Constitution suffers,tragedy
We smell lies

Family flees favouritism
Fathers’ favourites,vchildren
Mothers’ apple eyes, offsprings
Lies loosed from our oesophagus
We sell truth

Tutor torturing cheat
Cheat tortured by tutor
Fair balance denouement
Jerusalem’s wall rebuilding
We sell truth

Leaders leading with equality
Equality, leaders’ leading’s quality
Conflict resolved, comedy
Constitution supremacy
We sell truth

We smell lies,
We sell truth.
