An Ode to My Dying Motherland...

Lords tread,hunted&haunted..
Treasures torn apart....
Thy womb birthe great men
Mama's pride
fondled&fought for honour
wiped tears..
Beloved sparkled!

Behold!
Nomore sons
Many more sins
God absent
Godmen present
Brute kicks &
Burries Truth
Nidus nibbled,
Lap lashed
Momma bleeds
uncontrollably weeps..
Jewels in thou crown
wails&withers
Virtuous voices
vain&slitted
Ignorance seizes
Baron&beholden
Sinless slaughtered
Sinful survives!


Gaze Dear!
blazing fire
shalt extinguished
Pour strength...
Pervade truth
Hold the sword
Settle the scores
Smite unjust&brutish
There begins
A new DAWN..
To restore thy GLORY!

When is my nation gonna have a leader? Knowing its wrong, i hope a military rule may prove better for the people of this country. Knowing I am all wrong, I support a WAR today.

yes indeed I saw the connection...the little one creates a 'simple' version and the poetess creates the 'cryptic' versions! well, i could never word my feelings like this!!
