Oh Arise

Oh Arise! 
the city with wonderful natural resources
country where all are loyals 
Country where peace and unity are our watchwords 
leaders are serving in good manners 
masters and servants are truthful to themselves 
in seeing each other as brothers and sisters 
children future are care for in parents' hands 
fundamental human rights lives
country where thou gripe corruptions
education is the greatest for all of us 

Oh Arise! 
suddenly you become a changer
country where no one wants to be truster 
what a quarter! 
servant is not trustworthy to master
helpless is useless to the helper
parent is not faithful to the shaver 
thy children are not surer 
everyone now become a gamer 
when will the future be brighter?
corruption reignth in thy pastoral 

Oh Arise! 
thy lie is thy precision 
peace and unity is not fashion
fundamental human rights in consumption 
shedding of blood is thy ambition 
not even planning for the next generation
frivolous has taken our education
to be educated is not for misappropriation
different between truth and lie is truth use you intuition
let us try to be positive exception
arise to the positive direction
Oh Arise! to peace and justice oh ye nation
Oh Arise!
