To Love Our Nation

To love our nation
doesn’t mean denying our faults,
pushing them under the rug,
our heads in the sand
To love our nation
means fighting for a better land
more true to our dreams, our aspirations
what we believe, what we hope
what we long for, for our land
To be the country we desire to be
Who we can be
