Band of different colours and names
Pleasing with different beliefs and bands
Join hands together to defame
This great land of the grace and fame
Trivial rings of selfish drive
Move around to defame
Distract development plans
Of this glorious historic ground.
Red band, liberal band and isolated band
All join hands and hands
When their existence comes to an end
When their ideologies face an extinction
With their personal selfish nature
And egoistic narcissism of the past
Cannot sustain in the light of present
Decisive moment, ideas and enthusiasm
The energy of selfless motive awakes
The quarrelling bands join hands in hands
To grab something for personal gratification
Of short-term sense pleasure like in the past
Look at the colours and credence of these bands
Media to academia, politics to parliament
Workers to women liberators
You see like represented of all
Gender and age.
But this is all fake.
The band is like a gang
Conspiring to destabilise your glory
Development and all history
You will see the praise and appeasement
Of these bands within
And beyond borders
But beware they will break your border
And turn your history upside down.
Beware of your destructive bands!
