Wake Up!



Thy nation is towards the extremity of destruction
It hath forgotten it’s grounds and function
Thy affluents are blessed with the rain
For impecunious his existence is just a pain
Some people assassinate to survive
But some are there only to strive

Thy progenitors combated for thine freedom
And thou are behaving like it is a burden
They all were unimpeachable and like anemone
And thou are volunteering to free thy demon
Their tracks were made arduous and tightened
Just see all their efforts that thou hast abandoned
 
None shall help thou free from thy mind
Let’s try to leave thy past behind
Wake up! And raise the sound for oppressed
By the fear of lawbreakers, don’t be depressed
Just try to snort thy actions, be a fighter
Whenever thy nation needs thou, be a lighter
