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
