411. O God my nation deaf, dumb and blind

SONNET 411

By JH Sayyar
O God my nation deaf, dumb and blind
Corrupt politicians; army compromise,
To crush country men, none to us kind,
Expel the expellers where country wise,
Young, nation gems, spin around beauty,
Scholars sell verses sitting in the church,
More women sell chastity for food duty,
Leaders do snatch bread all in the lurch,
Where are country youths and fellows?
All slept on sex bed with wisdom dying,
Awake countrymen on head perils grow
To snatch bread from kids hawks flying,

In land no gas, no light, no bread to eat,
Murder and corruption, country wheat!
