Let My Country Not Sink

Let My Country Not Sink

 Where education leads to submissiveness, not self-respect
where knowledge and acceptance depends on certificates
where push-out is called drop-out

Where repression breeds fear, powerlessness, alienation and marginalization
where dependency, not self-sufficiency, perpetuates with helplessness
where discontentment is the way of life and dignity is decried

Where the system blames the victims to preserve status quo
and the stream of reason is lost in narrow divisions

Into that ever-widening hell of majority and minority
O my God,
let my country not sink in the new century
