Reflections

And in our old mirror- our reflection- our rebellion and battle scars-unseen,

And through our window- a world washed Red- all the pain and loss suffered,

The Motherland- our home- beyond these bricks a house washed in white,

Reflections always of the lost souls of our people- our struggles- our memories,

Sleep now.
