LAND OF EMPTY PROMISES




























O, land of sundry promises
Enveloped by the flame,
How is it you can function here
Overshadowed by the shame?

O, land of empty promises,
A land of fallen dreams,
How can you stand so resolute
With people on their knees?

O, land of broken promises,
A relic of the times,
Guide their eyes towards the gold
So they can see your lies.

~ C. Spies.
