MY NATION


Light up your candles, How hard to comprehend that sentence “Let us take this minutes of silence to Remember”, How deep and hard are these words to swallow Providing good definition to all the situations That makes our heart stop for at least two heart beats Please blood moon let me breath. Where your shadow becomes your worst enemy And where life savers becomes life takers While rivers become grave for innocents And forests becomes home for killings Please red blood moon let me live. No more mother, No more Father No more sister, No more brother No more wife, No more husband Whether you are a hunter or you are a prey Please red blood moon let my heart beat. Days and nights …no difference Cries and shouts all day long Two questions popping in my mind Both leading to the same answer “DEATH” Please red blood moon don’t let me die today Comprehending the gate between happiness and sadness That vibrates hard deep in our lungs Letting the sunny days replace the cloudy nights And make place for tears of happiness Please blood moon let me smile once. So there comes the rainbow after darkness and rain Welcoming Mr. Sun to sew our scattered hearts together No more “Him” no more “Her” But the new creation of “WE” Please red blood moon give place for Mr. Sun to shine I breathe in and out the new air of reconciliation I speak back and forth the new era of Unity I provide peace and receive it from my beholder I respect and honor the unity and reconciliation we receive Oh, my dear blue white sky give me back “MY NATION”
