These words speak of youth Of zeal, of enthusiasm Cry out from neglect From inexperience, from pretence These words speak of truth Of peace, of brotherhood Cry out from war From poverty, from treachery But these words are strong These words are formed from loyalty From warmth, from love, from fraternity Based on tolerance, on union, on bond Thrives in diversity Disturbed by dislike Suffers because of hate However these words, move on These words pierce likes arrows They cut the heart Call out for justice Scream out from conflict Squeal from being suppressed Bawling for the oppressed They shout out for action Not reactions And these words carry on These words need devotion Need affection Need to be received To be embraced Not displaced Not erased Yes, these words go on These words should be stored Should be loved Need freedom from strife Thrive where there is life Need to be communicated The message disseminated These words speak of decisions They see no conclusion These words shall forever live on « return. |
