Dominated by the poor
<p>A nation sired by and betrothed to water<br>
Dying of thirst</p>
<p>The food basket of aliens<br>
Hungry are its citizens</p>
<p>Amongst her kinsmen<br>
She claims to be the greatest</p>
<p>Piloted by the blind<br>
Ruled by the weak-hearted<br>
Guarded by the coward<br>
What a crippled giant!</p>
