The Seeds of Democracy

mine is the most beautiful ruined country on earth
who's favorite sons held knives

knife, wire ... tic tac .. 

mine is the most beautiful ruined country on earth
but the landlords came with their good intentions 
and let the eagles get in 
... even child knows what happens when you let the eagle get in

white eagle

tic tac ... wire, knife

mine is the most beautiful ruined country on earth
yet despite Geneva terms 
they proclaimed what happened 20 years ago as mislead estimation 
leaving us behind, unendingly hemorrhaging

knife, wire ... vukovar, srebrenica

how many of them are still out there

Jim Tidd Date: 5/4/2015 3:10:00 PM A strong sentiment on damage suffered by your country. Do you like suggestions? I will make a few, and see if you agree: "my country is the most beautiful ruined country on the earth" may be better as "mine is the most beautiful ruined country on earth" "even child" did you mean "every child" ? "jet despite" did you mean to type "yet despite" ? "how many of them is still out there" should be "how many of them are still out there" Login to Reply Sanja Cokolic Date: 5/4/2015 3:24:00 PM suggestions and corrections are welcome :))) thank you!
