Transnistria

Transnistria did break away
In 1990 in protest
From Moldova, and to this day
Claims its independence with zest.
We be a country, yes we be,
Transnistrians be proud to claim.
Top of the tallest building see
The whole country in single frame.
Moldova tried without success
To force Transnistria's return.
There was a war, then ceasefire, yes.
Transnistrians for freedom yearn.

The rest of the world does insist
Transnistria does not exist.
