The Crippled Giant
A nation of great wealth
Dominated by the poor
A nation sired by and betrothed to water
Dying of thirst
The food basket of aliens
Hungry are its citizens
Amongst her kinsmen
She claims to be the greatest
Piloted by the blind
Ruled by the weak-hearted
Guarded by the coward
What a crippled giant!
