Principals drinking
Presidents drinking
In taxpayers’ car
Em normal
Even clergymen
And policemen
Drinking in taxpayers’ car
Em normal
Check the credit lists
They clench their fists
In the local bar
Em normal
They are called “Father”
They are called “Leader”
Feasting in taxpayers’ jar
Em normal
They love the State
Stay till late
Exhausting taxpayers’ reservoir
Em normal
Student performance
LLG performance
Below par
Em normal
If you don’t talk
Nothing will walk
Continue paying your taxes
Em normal
Normal stret...Jimmy... PNG Power black out too...em normal.
Always enjoy your poems my friend...Keep writing.

Cars with the government plate are not for personal use . It looks like a corrupt practice of the Simbu provincial administration to transport ladies and beer as a prime form of service delivery with the slogan, 'Going Rural'.
Some of those leaders will never purchase vehicles after they lose the coming election.
Their wish to drive one will go in vain after they lose the game.

You're provoking my Monday morning again, Jim.
Em Normal! Just last night an LLG president's vehicle loaded with drunks singing those familiar tones headed down into my corner of Warasimbu.
I was about 50 meters from them and was about to throw a stone in their direction but held back when my better side took hold of me.
So many idiots who call themselves leaders in a very corrupt and an unfunctioning system from the lowest level, these councillors to the apex of it that's surely going to fail this beautiful country.
I may truly take up "a stone" and throw at them some day soon.
