Dalkeygow (Dear Motherland)

Dalkeygow, I hear your calling
Dalheygow, I feel this yearning
A yearning to return to you
My birthplace, my second womb

Dalkeygow, when will I be able to see you again?
When will my eyes be ableto adore your beauty again?

Dalkeygow, for how much longer will I be seperated from you?
For how much longer will I be dreaming of you?

Dalkeygow, they told said you are a 'dal dad waayey'
Dalkeygow, they lied to you for you have a people
A people known for their beauty, strenght & intelligence

Dalkeygow, it is true some of these people
have to you been nothing but a menance

They have abused, raped & plundered you
Never thinking about your well-being or success

Dalkeygow, they have turned you into a war-zone
Where kids do not learn how to read and write
But how to work a gun

Dalkeygow, do not despair
Hope and happiness is near
For your youth everwhere
Are standing tall, united and loudly declare
'Dalkeygow, we are all here!'

Dalkeygow, we realise your real worth
Your youth knows you are the real secret heaven on earth

Dalkeygow, you have become synonmous with pain and misery
But thy name is so holy and dear to me

Dalkeygow, you are where I am from
The land where I was born
The heaven I am longing and dreaming of

Dalkeygow, I hereby take an oath to thee
I will give my all to restore your dignity and prosperity
So help me God, ameen!

This is my moment, it is my moment because i do feel there are young talented people out there and hoping to restore peace and properity in our homeland. Tha last stanza made me feel different and i think what we need is people like Zaki. I red through and i well thought-out it therefore this is one of the best poems i have red. I love it
