If it's to write
I'd write so much
My ink would be a river
Flowing under your fluffy feet

If it's to sing
I'd sing so much
My mellifluous voice
Would bring about a melody
Putting soothes to your aching heart.

If it's to dance
I'd dance so much
You'd be entranced
By the swing of my jingling waist beads.

And even if it's to sleep
I'd sleep so much
To see you, my beloved
In my wonderland
Where we can wander
In the garden of wondrous flowers
And fall asleep
Under the luminous moonlight.

I walk down this lane
The narrow path of this lush dry land
Where our resources avail us not nor our destiny.

For every night we fight
And every morn we mourn
From the torment of the hands above,
Hammering our vision and barricading our success.

O Compatriots!
It is time
To live our time
For our armour of clamour is outworn.
Raise the sword of freedom
And cut loose this *******
That has enslaved us.
I'm from a beautiful country, with many resources but we understand not what to make use of it 'cause our government embezzled all our income forgetting the masses.
Stanza 2: we are fond of keeping silent over whats tormenting us but we fight with ourselves when night comes, blaming our destiny and cursing our ancestors, and when morning comes, when we meet with our friends we mourn over what we brooded over at night. That's the cycle we live in.
But the voice of the Revolutionist is never heard 'cause he's afraid of the aftermath of his revolution.

Even though you cut off the finely woven words of our communication
Even though you sank the ship that once had us aboard
Even though you coldheartedly drew out the map of the miles between us
Even though  the hearts lost beats and stopped synchronising

But still, memories of you linger in my brain
Setting my soul on fire
And sending warm shivers down my spine
Maybe I'm hypnotised
Or rather beguiled
But whatever the case
You'd forever be in my happenings.
