Nepal

My name is Nepal

I am beautiful with many mountains

gorgeous with many fountains

politics is my bad offspring

it does business here.

I am still silent

for I am a mom

it has ripped me a lot

the wounds are paining

scars are getting deeper

but still they are deaf

they do business their.

I do have some good kids too

but bad has the louder voice

i never dreamed this day

what can i do,this is not my choice

offspring too become so bad

they kick their mom and take care of their hat

oh it pains ,they do business here.

I wish i were a little bold

so that i could have smashed the bad and save the gold

its a pity I am paining

they are rejoicing and they are gaining

for whom can i tell my pain

so here i am crying again.
