This Mysterious Garden Earth
by Martin A. Ramos
|
this mysterious garden earth
where liars lurk, a silent crew
is not the country of my birth
no longer this my house of mirth
this land I love and thought I knew
this mysterious garden earth
acting with madness and with stealth
where lies are spoken of as truth
is not the country of my birth
what is the meaning of our birth?
when war burns bright and love hangs blue
this mysterious garden earth
what is the meaning of our wealth?
this once great land where white doves flew
is not the country of my birth
such was its nature, not to hurt
(america, where roses grew)
this mysterious garden earth
is not the country of my birth
