Time To Act



#TimeToAct

The separation of state and religion
Undermine swift changes to dominion
Abuse of power by corrupt leaders
Linger for the masses are believers
Firmly that their gods will prevail
To deliver right government of people
Unceasing prayers  & peaceful protest
Seemingly are effective's brief unrest
In the long run status quo dovetails
From whence bad politicos appeal
As Filipinos places them n high regard
Stupidity breeds temporary rewards
#TimeToAct must be d rallying cry
As changes are long overdue o my
#TimeToAct and end this insanity
The unending slumber of instability
#TimeToAct like a renegade
For once even Christians were crusaders
