My Country..... Rising To Emerge Poem by Jayatissa K. Liyanage
My Country..... Rising To Emerge
Having faced many losing battles
invaders absconded for good, reluctantly though
Leaving a host of imperialistic remnants
For us, to choose and fight against or live with
Whenever Nation tried to rise, since then
witnessed tentacles wiggling ‘n giggling, around
Big Bros, wealthy Uncles ‘n Royal Aunties
Seem to feel that we should please them
We are inherited a culture of mutual help
Loving kindness to all, inclusive animals
Respect for human rights, was born with
Life is founded on five noble precepts
We produced world's first ever woman PM
Showed on ground, how terrorism can be beaten
Pride, being icon to human eye donation
Denote gigantism, a tiny island can achieve in
Independence was our choice and pride
Thanks to fights, great forefathers fought
We need help of all, no doubt about that
Yet, better if world stop kicking on arse
A poem so expressive of your deep patriotic fervour! In the context of your country's Independence day, this is a timely tribute to your country! A true citizen should be proud of his country's unique contributions to the world! Great write!
Thank you Valsa for your kind words. They truly encouraging.
