My Country Is My Sorrow

My country is a woman on the street
Birthing whore children 

My country is a song 
Bustle to choke my melodies

Her woes - lyrics & whore styles
Spray over my eyelids

Where in abject poverty
I lost my fleshes

We don't not know who the perpetrators are
The citizens - Governments
Youths - everyone

Corruption grows in its valley
In the shoulders of a demon

A country on it pulpit
No hope - No faith 
I live in it a mere being
