TURMOIL IN PARADISE

What have become of this human’s freedom?

That His lands were neglected and forgotten
The earth cried for she is pained and hurting
Bleeding from its core and always breaking
A war had stroked in the neighboring crust
That the dove flew its way when turned to dust
Happy children cried and Joyous mothers are scared
For the bomb had broken their silence in the nightly air

Pity to those men who holds the mighty gun

For their head might catch a bullet while on the run
Hunted by piercing death and shaken by deafening fear
They may never see their loved ones they hold so dear
Too much death we witness and too much tears we shed
Change must be effected and change is what we need to see
We must weep in the darkness of the evening night
We must stand in the light of the morning sun
Hold hands brought a new dawn in the spring of peace
Together we build a nation of solidarity and kindness
With never ending love and teach children happiness
We remember our forefathers sacrifices and compassion
Because of them we are safe and in good relation
Harmonious people in their harmonious lands
With a bright future and a passion in their hands
