For the Love of My Country

For The Love of My Country Each country has its own Sunset Each has its unique industry But none has Sunrise for Sunset Nor Sunset that is quite sundry So I better love MY Country! Love and Humanity rule our Day We’ve nil for which to exchange Treasured culture to let decay Nor reason Nature to rearrange And replace with what’s strange. We wander wide and free In the Marketplace of knowledge Choice of belief is open and free Tolerance as we loudly pledge To neighbour across the hedge! What's Caesar’s we all surrender And receive what is of our own Neither a confirmed Pretender Who act Gent when he is Clown Or Narcissus in a loaned Gown! When we argue we spill no blood As brother loses temper to brother We quickly tone down the mood Lost temper we find for another Happy chicks, to live in one brood. This is who we are: Take off our boundary Leave our souls bare To all and to sundry Like Almighty be fair. We love our Country Keep yours to yourself We value our Divinity- It is not on the shelf For sale, until infinity. 04th Oct’ 2013
