I Am Done

*I AM DONE* Poor us; Tools we became in the hands of fate. Like winds fleeing the coast, We deracinated our homes, families and cultures. Indeed we were those who dared the agony of our ventures. Na ga ma For 365 days, we treaded on the paths of dedication and selflessness. Our miseries, we considered not. In glory undimmed, we journeyed. Like leafs tossed by the unforgivable winds, We matched, but not for the love of it. Mo ti se tan With jungle booths and antiquated outfits, We paddled through the tides of time. Crooked and rough paths indeed, we journeyed through, Yet, we tarried not. All we want is a better place in the society. Eme si gom I am done. Yes, I am done. I have journeyed through ages of selflessness. And I have crossed the bar. I have served my nation And I have conquered time.
