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.....
