IN THIS LAND:



In this land ruled by the kings of iron fists,
Where child demands & man commands,
This sad land, where women always obey,
Where the ancients are sorely missed by all,
And cowering pup is whipped & sadly yelps,
This land where over-worked donkeys bray,
Where nobody offers a hand to help the soul,
Where widow in mantilla kneels on bent knee,
And everyone prays to a God they cannot see,
This land where money yells in empty pockets,
Where the banker rules & the beggar drools,
And in bloody sand, tortured bulls sadly weep,
This brilliant land, of hot, searing, scorching sun,
Where the burning is of brains & sorry hearts,
Where grasping hands clasp & slowly tear apart.
