A mother always (mostly), shalt stand beside you,
So shalt for mother(land), if you’re its original son;
Alas, if only mother(land) dejects love of such child,
Then, should there be love, respect, willful patriotism?
Gone are days where detriments were being made,
Unknowing, who shalt be recipients of such descends;
One can love a land more than its own evolutionary soul,
NOT when love is repaid with vituperative words penned!
Love can’t be one sided; & if it’s, then, it is all untruth,
So shalt for any mother(land) where it ne’er ever stood;
One can transcribe spirits in the words or with stars,
But ne’er, when mother (land) only leaves myriad scars! ☹
