A Little Patriot's Rhetos
Little patriot's rhetos
If we don't see through,
Through the eyes of our fathers
And if we don't write
Write the stories of our mothers
Can we ever be better
Better than bustards
And if we hate those
Those Who fly with, our same features
Dorn in our same feathers
Won't it make much a difference
If we as a people,
If we embrace each other
And be the other's shoulders
Eloping away to foreign places
Places far Away in Westernlands
Proudly Abandoning your beloved
Your own beloved motherland
Building majestic palaces in thereto
Imagine a black palace in Switzerland
Can all our success stories
Can they all be written
Written in foreign places
What will be our legacies
Notorious runaways I guess!
That one I bet, I will bet on it forever
Will you be happy honestly
Will your ghost find peace
When Far away from its kind
Away from the cradle of its being
Let's build our own legacies
Write our own stories
Love our ownkind
And hate no one else
That way we will survive
Survive the harsh realities of derision
