#MyCountry

My country is now a place of fear
Vicious creatures grabbed power
Agents of terror scroll the streets
Screens are full of lies and hatred
People are turning into zombies

Artists became pawns and clowns
Intellectuals - spineless creatures
Hooligans guard the government
where criminals enjoy their prey
Freedom lovers end up in prison

And I’m tired, so tired and angry
I’m tired of morally ill shit-heads
And I can’t stand slimy creatures
who easily turn into thieves and
insolent bloodthirsty scavengers

Worthless, hollow and primitive
Vile foot-soldiers of nothingness
Worshipers of political obscenity
Dead souls and leprous minds in
the pocket of egocentric lunatics

I hear drums of freedom banging
Children of defiance marching in
Bravery settled back in the hearts
Streets look very different today
Crooks and ruffians soon will fall
