Rough Sailor (A Cry For Help) by harrysterol(m): 1:41pm On Dec 19, 2014
Oh! My mother land,
Once like the breeze of a gentleman,
But, now, like the heavy-footed

Oh! My mother land,
I remember how it started like a war ship
Heading to defeat the strong,
But,now, like the boat been paddled with a tea spoon

Oh! My mother land,
How has the mighty fallen,
Now like a sailor without a ship.

Lol. Harry you're murdering similies. cheesy

Just that, your punctuation needs some tuning. You forgot to punctuate a line or two.

Then in line two. 'Breeze of a gentleman'
Can you please explain it?
I am an olodo boy, I didn't really get it.
