Poem Title:
Poem
We were free and safe Facing the challenges of life In much more desirable manner We were at least happy For the peace we were enjoying On our land of birth; our homeland We never anticipated this at all That war would tear us apart And leave us miserable this way We witnessed so powerlessly Our brothers and sisters brutalized Our homes and properties burnt And then followed our displacement We have hopes but in despair We cried peace but in bloodshed That oh, we’d better seek refuge We run for our dear lives Hunting for safety across the borders Our dreams seems direly shattered As we saw our children butchered While there was nothing we could do What is happening? A little girl asked the mother Our lives are in danger, Answered the victimized mother Where are we going then? Another child asked the father We are running to seek for safety Answered the desperate father What about our homes? And what about our homeland? An elder boy thought deep within Where is the collective security? That guarantees our safety and surety? Why are they killing our people? Why all these humiliations and brutalities? So who is the cause and to be blamed then? We must not accept this indictment We must have a far fairer dream And we must wake to the challenge We can’t afford this victimization Just one wish do I wish to accomplish Yes! To return home blessed day The guns kept rattling The soldiers kept battling My people kept dying As the bombs kept flying We have lost everything Except for some few lives So who gains from these pains? And who deserve the blames? Thanks to the international community For their supports and sympathy Now that our hopes seems lost All we are praying for is total calm So we can sail free and safe in the storm We want prevailing peace to reign To clamp down the war campaign That we may return home; our wish And put together every piece in peace The time is right; the light is bright We shall realize our beautiful dreams And we shall accomplish our wishes Yes! We shall accomplish this one wish To return home one blessed morning
