Wish of a Patriot

Info

Where the mind is full of fear and the head is bent down,

into that hell of slavery, save my country,

from poverty, criticism, disrespect and sufferings.

In a world where wealth dominates the wise and cruel dominates the  kind,

fake dominates the real, misery dominates the hard work,

sophisticacy dominates the culture, where women are raped and abused in return,

was this the day the great men of our country dreamed  of...

I've seen the children getting kidnapped for money,

women being raped for lust,

poor being assaulted for food, 

and aged craving for love,

my heart filled with sorrow thinking of such instances,

when will that day  arrive......

where the mind will be without fear and the head will held high,

into those heaven of freedom my father.......

God! help my country awake.
