[hometext] => My country, Pakistan, seems to be going through a difficult patch. I think, more than anything else, this is due to the lack of patriotism among its people.
[bodytext] => By disregarding the importance of the law And punishing not the ones playing dirty, We have created room for various crises and corruption Not to mention the prevalent extreme poverty This condition of ours is not at all fine Let’s no longer be a nation in decline Once, lives were lost and countless sacrifices were made That bore fruit and led to this nation’s birth So let us work and struggle for its prosperity And to make this land the safest on earth All other nations, we have the ability to outshine Let’s no longer be a nation in decline Let us abide by the true principles: Having faith and unity, spreading peace and love, Exemplifying courage, clinging to religion So that all our weaknesses we are well above Between freedom and indiscipline, let us draw a line Let’s no longer be a nation in decline With all of us sincere to the cause of this country We can put behind us the unfortunate days When we were vulnerable enough to be threatened, dictated So that now each one of us in the country says, ‘To protect its honour, the responsibility is mine’ Let’s no longer be a nation in decline [comments] => 2 [counter] => 273 [topic] => 28 [informant] => ammar [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => Patriotic )
