Gods own country??
Hey!! Stranger why are you roaming around??
You better return to your land
Or you are sure to regret.
Are sure on the safety of your wallet?
You better be, even the crows around here snatches away money!!
Yes fair faced this is God’s Own Country.
Don’t panic, if your lady is not with you.
Oh! But she is, what’s her age?
Is she less than 18?
Alas! You better take her back to your land
Or you are sure to regret,
Wolves around here are more interested in young blood!!
Hearing this, you think on our court of justice?
Believe me stranger, the blind lady there is no more blind,
Pans in her hand will weigh your pocket first!!
Yes fair faced this is God’s Own Country.
Lo! I forgot to ask
Are you here for a vacation?
Then I appreciate your suggestion,
No where else but in Gods Own Country
Will you have the roads and beach for yourself
You can enjoy yourself all alone
Provided you can walk long distance,
And you have a good helmet!!
Yes you guessed it right
We’ll be on strike most of the days,
Yes fair faced this is God’s Own Country.
Or are you a terrorist?
Then you should be glad, you are on the right track,
You can practice how to shoot and how to throw bombs,
Right by being in the heart of God’s Own Country.
It is not that people here are fools,
But for us, things like this are too common nowadays,
Yes fair faced this is God’s Own Country.
Hey stranger, don’t run away for I’ve so much more to say!!
Oh! at least hear my final words,
And yes I’m ashamed to say this
“I’ll be more happy if you rule me!”
No, don’t get me wrong, it’s not that you were any better,
My heart will ache less, coz its not my own brotherWho is trying to destroy our very home.
