Regime change

+-- Regime change --+
New thoughts
Not the old thoughts
New regime in place
New opportunities presented
To the same populace
In the same country
Part of the same world
How much can be changed
How much should be changed
Open the doors and declare
No corruption and nothing hidden
Elected representatives to do the peoples bidding
Yet all clowns are strung
Puppetmasters play
Their influence colours
Erodes and displaces
Better newer thoughts
All power begins corrupting
Some things fail and so
Safer to retain status quo
Hold those changes for a while
Announce reviews with a smile
We are not forgetting
On promises not reneging
Just ensuring best care taken
With new changes making
Then days turn to years
Best intentions paralyzed by fears
The new regime become the old
Tired corrupt and never bold
Clinging to power using every trick
Laid some foundations but no brick
The whole disaster sinking deep
A regime at wheel asleep
The people seek new life
An end to the way it always is
A change of regime
A new regime to rise
Bring change and a new world
The constant regime changing blur.
