Home of Tyranny

Blood of martyrs dried in the plains Died in the Valley Mountains Fighting for independence Injustices felt when migration arise In the island of pearls And in the land of promise People were put in chaos When their land grabbed out of laws Immigrants view as dominant foes Once an oasis of freedom Is now a doom of ignorance? When tyranny became lord of the land People were driven out of their post Were given just pinch of hope To live life in woe forth Oh the never ending story Of the endless tyranny Please leave this home happy! This poem is dedicated to the people of Sulu and Mindanao Kg. Bahagia, Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia 5:35- 6:35 pm, November 13. 07, Tuesday
