Dear King, your gold

Will make you grow old

For no love can it give you

Dear peasant, you slave

You live in a cave

Your king no longer cares

Dear poet, you dream

Your thoughts are a stream

They're always flowing past you

Dear child, you play

And sadly one day

All of your fun will end

Dear lovers, you kiss

And one day you'll miss

The other when they are gone

Dear actor, you pose

The real never shows

You're always behind a mask

Dear widow, you weep

Your hurt is so deep

Alone you will be all your life

Dear parent you worry

You're in a hurry

Afraid you child will end up like you

Dear teacher, you hope

With antics you cope

To make our lives better in the end

Dear preacher you pray

For a world in decay

Many will never see the light

Dear leader you hold

Onto hope and don't fold

We all look to you as a guide

Dear nation, you're lost

It's all come at a cost

You've been going down hill for years
