FOREIGNERS TO DISCOVER RIVERS IN the VILLAGES

Is it true or lies 
for some foreigners
to discover
big rivers
in your villages? 

Imagine when you read
 that a big river in your village 
was discovered 
by a foreigner. 
To mean all the villagers 
who were living there 
Did not know about it, 
While fishing in it, 
Drinking its water, 
Sailling on it daily.

Don't laugh, 
Don't get angry, 
There are more lies
on earth. 
Some graves 
of your ancestors 
are near some  sources 
of some  rivers 
Which some foreigners 
Claimed to discover.
they are now popular 
Due to those lies. 
Just keep smiling
as you know the truths
and continue pretending 
As if you don't know about their lies.
