A Perfect Country
Harrow International School Beijing, He, Yixuan -13
There will be a perfect country
Where despite the seasons it is always sunny
The grass is green
And the street is clean
There lives a little boy
Who is filled with joy
Apparently the whole world is a little toy
And that it is build for him to enjoy.
There will be a perfect country
Where the sun shines twenty-four-seven
It will be remembered as a heaven
For all that seeks it, HongKong is its entry
There lives a bunny
In the world seemingly so far away
In that world that appears in our dreams
But now it’s real, it seams.
There will be a perfect country
When all the others suffer from poverty
When the world is dark and dusty
This place will glow with glory
There is a leader
Smart and kind
Whom the public admired
Whom leads this country to greatness
For he is fairly selected
Not by heritage or bribery
Not by corruption or propaganda
But by pure hardworking and talents
There are people
Prosperous and happy
They love their country
And their country loves them
In your country, you should be aware
There are crimes, murders and corruption
There are poverty, homelessness and inflation
And there are things in the nightmares of your nightmares
But what if, as you sometimes wonder
That there will be a place like utopia
Where nobody would suffer
And what if I tell you it’s real—or will be soon
