motherland

Motherland

tucked underneath

patchwork acres

with small towns sticking out

 

Motherland

where wise and deep

silent rivers

flow unbound

 

Motherland

your whispering trees

always lulled men to sleep

who think they run all this

 

Motherland

hold me close to your breast

Remind me who I am

when I lose myself

 

Motherland

If I ever leave

I know

you’ll be right here waiting

 

Motherland

These man-made streets

full of vanity and greed

could never touch you

 

Motherland

I’ll sit on your beach

watch the cruel sea retreat

just to feel you’ll never move

 

Motherland

hold me close to your breast

Remind me who I am

When I lose myself
