A coutry that stands divided
Is like a house built on sand
It will fall apart and many have to die.
A country with absolute power on the brink of all out war
They stand on their parapepts with guns loaded and ready
Eyes that scan the horizon for any sign of attack
We wait with baited breath hoping, praying that sense will prevail.
But how can you talk to a government that has war as its theme?
The people must frightened everything is out of their hands
Brainwashed by politics that go against all morality
Leaders who sit in palacial slendour they only think of themselves
Only what they wish to achieve
Your house is built on sand and will come crashing down
We wait
Praying

Prompt North Korea. I thought this was a challenging contest full of emotive emotions. Depending on your political leanings it will mean different things. I hope that the contest brings out some deep thoughts. Love it.

Strong words and perhaps prophitic. Considering what is taking place in Mumbai I would say this is right on and many in thw world need to wake up to the dangers.
