The Betrayal

            The hunger of wealth, jewels and fame 
Led me to betray my motherland 
Never did I think of its obligations upon me 
Although my fate had the revenge in its hand. 

I thought I had succeeded all the way 
I got the life I was waiting for 
The dreams of being filthy rich 
Or the wishes I once used to adore. 

A few days of gain was everything for me 
A life like a king knew no bound 
Few days looked like years of comfort 
But what was in my fate was now too late to be found. 

In the midst of this all that I can recall 
There came a time that I can't forget at all 
A turning point in the route of my life 
A U-turn that led me to a gigantic fall. 

The treachery of mine gave its yield 
And the awaiting disaster struck me hard 
I was hurled away like a broken old toy 
Everything was snatched and I was destroyed. 

I was back to my own, worse than my past 
I got completely ruined and was aghast 
Nothing did I have to satisfy my gut 
I had began to starve until it did last. 

Within the darkness finally came a ray of light 
From the mid of the sea came a shore in sight 
I was back to the soil I did betray 
But that very soil breathed me my life. 

Broken was I with the shame in my heart 
Lamenting myself all night all day 
For betraying a soil that was everything to me 
I wanted to state but had nothing to say. 

But still the land like a mother it was, 
Gave my life back like a child long lost 
The clear blue sky was the shade I had 
The fragrant soil was the mat I got. 

I regret it now when the time has passed 
That I couldn't get it, I couldn't understand 
That this divine beauty, the sacred soil 
Was nothing much in sight but truly my motherland.
