Iberia Rejected

The Piece Iberia Rejected

I like to go to Spain one day soon
Portugal is so tiring and deceitful
It is a fantasy land 
Where truth and lies blend 
Into a bewildering version of 
Arabic influence
That Christianity decapitated. 
Spain is a big country with a great mind
Portugal is so much smaller 
And their worldviews are that of 
What you see in an olive copse 
Besides I have family in Spain who reads
And like my opinions 
I`m respected elder member of the clan
They want me to come home
And lead them now. 
Portuguese politeness is based on avoiding
The truth at all cost
No matter how long you leave in Portugal
They will treat you with 
A smiling contempt.
So it is time to leave this land 
of sheep herders and lawyers 
indelible belief in Dictatorship.
