The Helpless Giant
Giant! The once strongest, now feeling helpless,
Lying, like a child in distress.
A nation once mighty, now fallen,
From its former glory, its light has been stolen.
Its people cry out, in despair and rage,
Their voices unheard, like a silent page.
The leaders, corrupt, and full of greed,
While the people, are left to bleed.
The future, once full of hope and pride,
Now fading fast, like a dying tide.
The nation's spirit, slowly dies,
As the people, look with daily cries.
