We Were Happy People

by Azer Mantessa

We were happy people
before they came along
with their guns and cannons
and ruled us with blood
what they did was horror

We were happy people
until they started to rob
a lot of our
natural resources
made us even poorer

They had the power in taking
Just a little bit in giving
They had the power to control
Threaten to destroy every soul

They did expect
For we were week
That we would never start to fight back

We were happy people
before you came along
with your stupid ideas of
modenization
industrialization

We were happy people
until you socialize
the losses of
government bodies
but privatize the profits

You coordinated with the banks
For the loans to realize your plans
You listed all the companies
Increasing market equities

To refinance
Financial cost
Consumer prices rise up
For your cause

So tell us how to be happy
There's not much difference
Between the imperialists and your cronies
We have no where to turn
