When courts and debates were all ruled by true justice <br />The people abused it and there came injustice. <br />When all laws were used to defend the innocent <br />The rich abused it and they made the truth absent. <br /> <br />Now I see a nation that is punished and pale <br />Because the strong and the foundations became frail. <br />All the proper systems that dwell in the land died <br />And the people did works that are undignified. <br /> <br />From a land overflowing of milk and honey <br />It was turned to a land that is dry and thirsty. <br />And from a sea prosperous in pearls and fishes <br />It was turned to a sea polluted by curses. <br /> <br />Who would ever predict that this day will happen? <br />And who will ever know the end of this famine? <br />In the days when the splendor of the land was here <br />Many wanted not the Supreme One to draw near. <br /> <br />So tell me, who will be humble enough to cry? <br />Even if your pride can’t, why won’t give it a try? <br />Who will dare to take off man-made doctrines and lies <br />So that the land will see the end of this demise? <br /> <br />Citizens, dare to lend your hands and make a stand. <br />Glory must be seen again in this dying land. <br /> <br />www.poemhunter.com/obed-dela-cruz <br />www.poetfreak.com/poet/ObedDelaCruz <br />www.princeobed.multiply.com <br />www.obed-dela-cruz.blogspot.com <br /> <br />PS: “The rules that we have are never meant to be broken. <br />Disobedience is just the decision of most men.” - Obed Dela Cruz 2010 <br /> <br />Copyright © 2010 by Obed Dela Cruz <br /> <br />(February 26,2010; Marikina City) <br /> <br />(Dedicated to my God and nation) <br /> <br />(The poem is written by Obed DC.
