The racial prejudice
found in the West
spreads to the east
with the predominant
race showing supremacy.
The other races
brought by the British
to work in the plantations
and do business
stand left out.
A dismal attitude
prevails in government
offices, where the officials
disregard the races
with scorn .
The rulers ignore
the hard work of the races
humiliate them,
tease and sideline
the genuine inmates.
Governance has its eyes shut
while the officers keep no time
come and go. take intervals
whenever they like,
all belonging to the majority.
They turn corrupt
as they receive
a portion of the fees
collected by the agents,
neglect those who apply in person.
Put those who come direct
to hardships, make them
wait for hours while the
agents the same individuals
come again and again.
That is how the country
performs, with no order,
no cordiality, no system
only for the money
that transpires .
