Welcome strangers! But lie intentionally before entering Roberts International Airport Let us take a scroll through Liberia. A place where corruption wears a smile, speaks with the elders, and authorizes the kingship A place where crime is charmingly celebrated and known to be the most brilliant celebrity A place where teachers are underpaid Deservingly serving sex for grades A place where love has departed on a long journey to an unknown destination A place where rape has become a culture sending mama's children on a mission to the grave A place where the doors of employment have been locked by legislathieves, excuthieves and judiciathieves A place where our libraries are filled books that teach us 'What to think' and not 'how to think' making beautiful confusion Welcome strangers! These are the ills that sleep on the principal streets of Mama Liberia While a woman called "HOPE" continues to crawl steadily
