It was that day when push got to shove its worst
That day when the filthiest got to be the wealthiest
When that parent sacrificed a sacred blood
…for money soaked in red blood
When those armed men shot that innocent man
…for his wealth squeezed from sweat
When that politician pillaged from the common fund
…with shameless audacity
When that physician conspired
…to construct an infectious conspiracy
And then to construct an orthodox remedy
When that preacher raided the worshippers in the temple
In the name of sowing seeds of treasure up in the heavens
That day when the filthiest got to be the richest
It was that day when push got to shove its worst
That day when the filthiest got to pass with upper class
When that learner and that lecturer laid in wait in bed
When that learner and that examiner
Learned to lean on leaked leaves
To fly on with bright colours
When the studious stooped underneath the bronze stairs
When the stupid lifted high shoulders upon the golden pedestal
That day when the filthiest climbed the highest
It was that day when push got to shove its worst
That day when the filthiest got to fill the vacancy
When that certificate of distinction failed to pass the test
When Jack jumped the long queues long before the interviews
When the worst applicant fared better than the best
When just a call from protocol got him that job
When a soft body softened her way to the job
All the way to the top
That day when the filthiest got to head the Board
It was that day when push got to shove its worst
That day when the filthiest got to be the dearest
When that bachelor proved his virility
…with multiple impregnations
When that spinster proved her fertility
…with multiple abortions
When that husband confirmed his prowess
…by impregnating the missus and the mistresses
When that wife showed her sweetness
…by conceiving for hubby and honey
That day when the filthiest got to be the most adorable
It was that day when push got to shove its worst
That day when the filthiest got to be the mightiest
When Mr Nobody paid everybody
On his way up to transmogrify into Dr Somebody
When Mr Yentumi migrated from a local borrower
To metamorphose into a universal money dispenser
When that Chief Propagandist
Was propelled to play the Protagonist
When that Chief Executioner
Was elected as the Chief Executive
That day when the filthiest got to be the most powerful
That day it was
That day when the filthiest pushed past the best
…shoved the rest
To survive the test
