The Land of Ours

You are captivated hundred years ago
Auctioned your innocent beauty
Tasted various blood that kissed on the land
Marked the scars of exploitations

Trampled your dignity!

Barrowed the freedom declared by other
Fake declarations put our forefathers in trouble
Glared them by figurative beliefs
Praising the teach of others lives

You can’t live without balanced looking
Knowing your men’s race abused them without mercy
The wrong acts of our descendants 
Earning the weak new generation

Once again you are plead 
For the other lands deceiving you
All your men are slave
Still bring the curse of yesterday

You are pulling as an example
As the gate of hell of many aspects
Admitted the poverty is the hub of history
They are ignorant! We have filled of dreams!

Cannot stop their dirty spit
For the poor land but behind rich
Controlled you for being small
Wake up our brave spirit once more!

I know the brilliant minds know the weapon
For the intruders with the same us status before
They boast their powerful stuff’s war
Defying your patience to become ash

I know you are not like before
You can beat them and obtain the praise
The gnashing teeth thirst for respect
Of the strange eyes observing your work

Your men are not cowards
Waiting for the signs from HEAVEN
Give us strength and wisdom
To defend our crying tired land!

This poem is very good. Made me think of the Innocent victims of conflicts all over the planet past and present and Could be well used by Warchild but Also a fitting tribute to the ordinary people from many lands down many generations who have stood against oppression. Sadly it Also describes the oppressors very well too. You write with great talent and emotion x

A powerhouse of emotion & wisdom. Indeed, how it seems the disappearing logic & common sense of today is disappearing rapidly. This was massive!

This is oddly disturbing and very interestingly phrased. You are very talented, welcome to the soup.
