I Am a Wetland
I am a wetland ,
To the lotus and fish, and dreams.
But my bridle from iron and
My horse from wood.
,
Twenty centuries in my blood,
Full of amok ,fire and war .
O my sorrow heart,
The lashes hurt and the silence
They rushed your death.
,
I thought your shield from iron,
So I left, the arrows of treachery,
Pleasure of aiming.
Oh my heart's delusions ..
How can you run over the flames?
,
You were a land of joy
You were a bird dances on
The top of mountains.
,
Ah what a stone that hit my heart
I became a land of oppression,
I became a land of sorrow.
,
Tell me O God ..
Who will bring back to me, the smell of lotus
And dreams?
