The land is no longer green



The land is no longer green

Our people go in search

Of greener pastures

As a troop of locusts

Have devoured

Our verdant pasturage 

Professors of oppression

Who seek glories

With tinted stories.


Devoures, who loot and scatter

Instead of build and gather.

Their stings of power

Painful to bear.

And so, our branches stretched, 

Across foreign lands.

Like sheep without folds

They forage in alien lands.
