My Sorrowful Countries

“Though I’ve lived my bygone years,
In this land, in this land.
I’ll uproot it without tears,
and I’ll change it if I can!

And, no more shall I be, loyal to my sorrowful country.
No more shall I be, loyal to my sorrowful country.”
-”Loyal to My Sorrowful Country”

I was talking to an Iranian man today who said that he loved both Iran and the U.S. I am the same way. I love my own country, the United States, but I love Iran, too. No matter what either country does, I will love it. I will always be loyal to these countries, no matter how sorrowful they become.
