❔ Destined to fall, but can WE change? ❔
Economic crisis getting more worse
Stock prices rising sky high
Never ending problems in a bloody nation
A nation that's built to die
From peace to war and war to peace
This cycle just never ends
Unless someone comes and breaks the cycle
and stand their ground till the end
Even though they say we got our freedom
in 1948
We're still under the rule of greater people
Because it is our fate
And though they say that fate can change
I doubt that this one can
Because the people of this country will never change
It's a curse upon our land
No matter if you're here to help
And even if you're not
The people will cry "What a freak!"
And leave you there to rot
The government won't fix this economic crisis
They're just waiting for people to donate
When they can help with this problem, they just stand there
Ignoring our complaints
This nations' pride is hanging by a rope
And just one single wrong step
We'll slip and fall to the abyss of the forgotten
And we'll be stuck there with nothing but regret
This country had always been in danger
It's something that can't be changed
It's the fate of our people, we're destined to fall
But can WE change?
"Yes we can!" I think you might say
And I agree with you too
Because this country desperately needs it
And what harm does a little change do?
But trust me, millions have tried to change them
But nothing has ever worked
Because they always believe that those people were wrong
And say that "Tradition comes first"
And most of the time they don't care what other people say
Their opinions don't matter to them
If their leaders and elders say it's wrong without a second thought
They would ignore the opinions you have
And worst of all is that they can manipulate
the country's young youth
Telling them to only follow their traditions
Even if it's not the truth
And I'm sorry if what I'm saying bothers you
I just wanted to tell my opinion too
But even if what I have said is mean
Isn't it kind of true?
And I know you're thinking, even though I've said all of this,
Aren't I a Sri Lankan too?
But I never once said that I liked this country
Nor the people that live there too
Unless the people of this country decide to change
all their ways or at least try
My hatred for this country, forever will live
Until the day I die
But if you ever hear them beg and cry for help
Please don't look back
This country deserves the torture, it was never meant to be
It was never meant to last
