Only in my country
Only in my country,
People keep silent watching
Their oppressors go freely,
While they suffer from
Their evil deeds.
Only in my country,
The innocent are being killed
In cold blood by blood thirsty Vampires,
Unleashing their anger on Themselves,
While their oppressors
Fly freely,
Only in my country,
Executive looters
Proudly display their loots,
While the masses dance
Around the market searching
For a day meal.
Only in my country,
The supposed protector
Of the Innocent becomes
The Guide of the corrupt,
Only in my country,
A young boy is killed
In daylight by mindless
Zombies with no one to
Question their barbaric act.
Only in my country,
Thieves are burn to death,
Granted a quick justice,
Spilling the blood
of our children,
Only in my country,
Barbarism is code nicknamed 'Jungle Justice' by barbarians
That have no compassion
For human Life,
Turning off their Humanity
Against the victims of their
Widely known oppressors.
Only in my country,
The guilty cast stones on
The harmless,
Forgiving people who
Rob the polity blind,
While people are tempted
To steal just to feed
A 'hungry stomach',
To live and hope
For the next day
Only in my country,
Shall I pray,
'Thy kingdom come'
Come soonest,
For our Humanity is ripe
For cleansing.
Only in my country,
People are offended
By swear words than
Famine, bad welfare and
Killings of generations.
