Hi my name is Zainab, I'm a big lover of art in any form, I enjoy creating art, and testing my limits on how I can interpret my art to others out there.

Am I an idiot or a fool?
Is my faith and hope being used as a tool?
My country beats me until I cry.
Then it tells me, I'm tomorrows leader, and leaders don't cry.
Am I pathetic because I don't want to vote.
My vote will never count, it's rigged we all know.
Rinse and repeat one party or the other,
Doesn't matter what you choose so you don't need to bother.
Do I love this country enough to fight for it.
Do I think my fight will bring a change to it?
When will my protest reach my leaders heart?
When will my fervent prayers be answered in full or part.
Have we been forgotten by today's leaders?
Do they see us as humans at all?
Or are we just a means to an end to them,
Hopefully, this citizen hopes our troubles end.
The sooner we wake up and realise that the leaders of yesterday have sold our today,
The sooner we understand our tomorrow is on the market too.
The better for the actual leaders of our tomorrow.
The better the future of our children too.
