PNG, My Mother Country

Send-Hope-Not-Flowers_PNG_ImageLarge02JOSEPH TAMBURE

My mother born September 1975
Today 44, growing older
Eight million children, still counting,
Scattered, many struggling to survive
No concern or sympathy for them
Poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, crime

She doesn’t care for the environment
Where children are born and grow
Where attitudes and humanity develop
Where positive influences should reign
She has no interest, doesn't care
Mother doesn’t care, how can that work?
In 44 years, corruption and poverty

She must adopt and protect her children
Develop bright minds to secure development
Assist, encourage, support all in need
Culture and quality of life will improve
She can be a proud mother with respect and status

Neat concept Joseph, and tenderly stated. Not to detract but to endorse your stance:

‘Exuberation’ at birth of nation
Exasperation at worthless station
Exudation at each enumeration
Exhalation at each explanation
Exclamation at your examination.
