		<description>I read this poem first time in 1995 and was so convinced that  it fits our ( Pakistan ) situation perfectly.   Except &quot;Pity the nation that wears a cloth it does not weave,  eats a bread it does not harvest&quot;

That credit goes to British, who built cananl system and irrigated baron lands o Punjab and SInd .

Then credit goes to ayub khan  who built dams and more link canals  to irrigated more land.
 Now  salute  to our poor farmers  whose  whole family work and struggle un precidented to grow  agriculture produce , such as wheat, rice, cotton and sugercane etc. for local con sumption and also exported  to earn foreign exchange.

This poem must be added in the  syllabus of eights or  matric class to make them aware of our jugglers or joker polittcians. who play hovic with  ths beautifuyl country.

wish we can betterunderstand the underlying meaning of this philosiphical poem and  wake up soon.

regards

		<description>An amazing masterpiece from an amazing master.

&quot;Pity the nation that cannot find the time to pity itself,
 
 Pity the nation that possesses a nuclear weapon but    
 cannot defend itself,
 
 Pity the nation that does not have a national identity,
 
 Pity the nation that that was born on piety and has sold 
 it to others,
 
 Pity the nation whose energy resources can last for 300 
 years but suffers from endless blackouts,
 
 Pity the nation whose President is a convicted money-
 launderer,
 
 Pity the nation whose Interior Minister&#039;s only credential 
 is being the President&#039;s driver in London,
 
 Pity the nation whose Ambassador to Iran used to be its 
 President&#039;s money laundering courier,
 
 Pity the nation whose Foreign Minister thanked Hilary 
 Clinton for the crumbs she threw at him while proudly 
 and arrogantly boasting to be &#039;an unshakeable and an 
 unbreakable ally of the Zionist State, 
 
 Pity the nation who has allowed the people who have 
 plundered it twice to ravage it a third time,
 
 Pity the nation that hands over its daughters to 
 an &#039;imperial world devourer and bully&#039;,

 P I T _        P _ _ I _ T _ _

 Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y    why  why  why  why  why ?&quot;</description>
