Analysis of A country Betrayed

The moon shone brightly
The waves pondered gently
The stars blinked brilliantly
The night was wondrous.

The hills echoed out our laughter
The fields were green
Children played as the raindrops fell
Music filled the countryside.

Then the gumboots and khakis came through
The clouds covered the moon
The stars stopped blinking
The waves pondered wildly.

My hills no longer echo
The fields now are brown
No raindrops do I see
Gravestones stand in place of the children.
