To a would’ve been nation
Once loftily deemed a giant
Of heroic dwarves’ continent
A continent of great people
Or a would have been one
Who failed to metamorphose
Dwindling like burning candles
A nation of men and women
With hidden overinflated egos
Believing in their specialness
Even with nothing to show off
A nation of phoney people
Where each one appears holy
Christians and Muslims alike
Each one secretly faking holiness
A nation where both the leaders
And the people they drag along
All don scary but smiling masks
Appearing to be truthfully genuine
Professors harassing young ladies
Pastors and priests on deadly mission
Imams and vaguely spiritual leaders
All bent on milking dry their faithfuls
Welcome to a blessed damned nation
Where the elderlies parade indignity
The young ones enjoying fake future
As they perform in their tragic opera
