the wasteland
look out-stretched across the nation
the whole state is now a waste-land
rubble is piled in the door-post of the surburbs
but in the city of the high society,
what an aristocrated wonderland
look waste is even piled in the school
nay! these dirt sure must affect the schooling
and the less fortunate are less brainy
but look at the children far from that rubble,
their schools are unaffordable, and also abroad
look now what my country has become,a waste-land
but do not think some places don't scent of alabaster,
and the fragrance of fortune,in the nostrils of the noble
but either way, the masses make up the majority
and so soon the rubble extends to their doorknobs
