For The Love Of My Country

For The Love Of My Country

A Poem by matthias
"

Love for my motherland

"
The foolish man said to the material man
All imaginary are creations
All that glitter come to ruin
The love of motherland is the truest of wisdom

The wisdom of old are light to champion our cause
The love of a motherland
Is a bond greater than fear
All men are born foolish only a handful survive folly

For the love of my country
I will stain my sword
And bath in the pool of death
All men are born foolish only a handful survive folly

The material man replied
All glory without gold
Is a greater folly than dead
We must milk the land to wet our bread

All the sweat without honey
All cries without victory
All the courage without reward
Is a folly beyond comparison

Woe to the traitor
There is no greater evil than disservice to motherland
Material men meet death in shameful mall
All men are born foolish only a handful survive folly
