There was a country

Once! There was a country
That held hope for her people
Whose leaders were the youths role models
Whose people were the most disciplined
Whose military were the nation's pride
Whose students were the nation's erudite
Whose economy prospered and flourished

Yes! There was a country
Whose neighbours were envious
Whose citizens were contented
Whose environment was friendly and peaceful
Whose military strength,
Was nothing compared to her neighbour's
Yet she was satisfied and happy

There was a country!!
Whose neighbours gathered
And sought to conquer it
Whose counterparts brought out arms
And sought to deface it
Whose enemies succeeded
In invading it.

And There was a country!!
Whose people had broken hearts
Whose youths had a bleak future
Whose military had been subdued
The country with blood lying everywhere
After been betrayed by her neighbours
A country with hopes broken
All because of her neighbours jealousy.
