First Time Visitors
Welcome strangers!
But lie intentionally before entering Roberts International Airport
Let us take a scroll through Liberia.
A place where corruption wears a
smile, speaks with the elders, and
authorizes the kingship
A place where crime is
charmingly celebrated and known to
be the most brilliant celebrity
A place where teachers are
underpaid
Deservingly serving sex for grades
A place where love has departed on
a long journey to an unknown
destination
A place where rape has become a
culture sending mama's children
on a mission to the grave
A place where the doors of
employment have been locked by legislathieves, excuthieves and judiciathieves
A place where our libraries are filled
books that teach us 'What to think'
and not 'how to think' making
beautiful confusion
Welcome strangers!
These are the ills that sleep on the principal streets of Mama Liberia
While a woman called "HOPE" continues to crawl steadily
