Sonnet of Life X
Sonnet of Life X
Who will occupy the empty dark graves?
The dugout rectangular holes await
No one is immune, no one can be saved
The course of destruction is written fate.
Murdering, pilfering – man against man
Have we forgotten to love our brother?
We cry as a whole nation, Yes we can!
Tears of color shed for one another.
Reach back, understand from whence we have come
Instill the pride of a people of Kings,
The battle of life is lost, our youth succumbed
Cry out brothers, sisters – Let Freedom Ring!
Wake up! A new day adorns the heavens,
A golden halo surrounds thy brethren.
