For 30 years and then some
We watched as a nation crumbled
We began to forget, to lose hope
That a tyrant could be humbled
He ruled with an iron fist
Gripped with fear we became paralyzed
With entertainment and sports
They kept us mesmerized
It would get better soon they said
As they ignored the people’s cries

The civilian deaths console the regime in control/ graves become homes for the departed souls.
Bodies gashed with bullet holes/ backs are lashed by ruthless patrols.
Fighters fighting with fading tones/ martyr’s waiting to read their scrolls.

To you, her scream is silent
Her mouth is closed
Face composed
But her eyes are shouting
With a pitch that
Would shatter the glass houses
They’ve built
On pearl and palm islands
