Such disappointments we have found
Before our feet can hit the ground
The lesson is you cannot win
No matter who may let you in,
I find it strange that no one cares
Who gives or takes, or hoards or shares !
How sad that we are overcome
By tales of greed and waste by some
Our nation weeps we are so lost
There is no way to count the cost
Our dignity has been disgraced
And standards need be replaced !
