We can’t surely say
That the tons of blood on Alata land
Were by knives of the known devil
II
We can’t surely say
That the new shoot of hope on Alata land
Is free of all knowledge of the slaying knives
III
Alata is at the crossroad
With eyes watching from all angels
To see if the flower of hope is not a hidden lion
IV
A flower like hope
A flower like a lion
A flower with happy fears for laughter or tears
Queer!
