My Country

I do not understand
My country
Where "settlement"
Is the culture of life

I do not understand
My country
Where Justice and fairness
Are mortal sin

I do not understand
My country
Where intellectuals
Are in captivity

I do not understand
My country
Where YAHOOS
Are Lords

I do not understand
My country
Where ethnicity and tribalism
Are sentiment and temperament

I do not understand
My country
Where truth and sincerity
Are Albatross of life

I do not understand
My country
Where nothing good works

O My country
Why bestride with
The glosarry of evil?

When shall you
Be freed?
