Land of the morning calm

Trouble looming at the DMZ 
Bewildered, naïve foreigners preaching ABCs 
Land of the morning calm 
Learned by rote

Globalize, beautify, unify 
Burden of the irregular verb 
Enemy soldiers raping and pillaging 
Seeking diction and inner peace

Land mines, a constant reminder 
Children gawking, adults staring 
Christianity sweeps the nation 
Phonemes altered

Homogeneous people struggle 
Competition with Hangul 
Genealogy changed forever 
Lessons learned in the morning calm

Jonathan Mitchell's questions:

1. What do you think of the structure, or lack thereof? Keep in mind, that I'm an amateur poet.

2. Are comparisons between Korean history and the experience of an English teacher effective?
