My lawless mother land

My lawless mother land
What am I to say to you
 
Today, I saw the photograph
Of this young woman
Whose hand and a finger is severed by a thief
A woman from Vavunia
 
I also heard that the thief
Shot her husband when he tried
To protect her
And then the thief fled
 
Just yesterday I read about Doti
A mother aged fifty
Telling about the abduction of rape
Of her seventeen year old daughter
 
And that was at Kalutara
Where the police protected
The rapist, at the high court
Not far from the police station 
 
My lawless mother land
What am I to say to you
