Heads in the sand
Thoughts all lost and carried away
The people lost in their day to day
Aspirations are fine but centers on thee
The plight of others you do not see
Words get lost in the recess of minds
The lies take over one surely finds
Like a flamingo with its head in the sand
Our nation of people so sadly stand.
