A symbol of hope and inspiration, tarnished before, but never as tarnished as today! Corruption eats at her!

UNCLEAN
Regal – she stood the onslaught of years,
Embracing all and yielding her tears,
At last there came a time to repay,
Cleaned and gleaming to start a new day,
Alas, in less time the grunge has encroached,
She stands on land now buried by roach,
Unclean and vile the country she symbolized,
Has shielded their eyes, and with evil sympathized.
