Len Gasun Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

Independence

I n sovereignty, we unite... we stand,

N ation’s brighter future is now on hand;

D ream a dream for the success of everyone,

E arnestly  pray for God’s aid  and His  constant guidance.

P resent economic status will move forward,

E  mancipating from restraints, one’s welfare is on guard;

N  othing is as precious as the gift of freedom,

D  emographic beliefs and interests-- the first priority to come.

E  nvisage our country’s  future generation,
      
N  ationalism with one goal, our state will prosper soon;

C  itizens will exercise their rights in full cooperation,

E  xhibiting  kinship, love and peace with respect to other nations.
