Cry
Cry!
Cry, My beloved country!
The land of hope...
The land of milk and honey
The land of people
Great and mighty....
Cry, My beloved country
The home of peace unequalled
The home of people intelligent
A marriage of incompatible spouses...
Cry, My beloved country
The boat which rocks in the tide
Yet capsizes not...
The scrotum of the ram
Which dangles dangerously
Yet it falls not....
Why?
Are we here...
Why?
Are we plundering...
Why?
Are we this way...
When?
Shall we be saved...
Thus I say
Arise, my country
And take your place
So glorified and dignified...
I see it coming
A revolution...
Bloodless?
I know not...
Why?
Cos my country
Is crying.....
