All are mad
From all corners
Real or fake
Intermittently, we are crazy
Causing havoc and chaos
All over our continent
II
Sea of sacredness
Over the crust of the continent
Under the guise of a great man tsunamis
After he turns his back to rest
Housed under the guise of death
III
And you cruelly go on
Forcing your blood to leave your land
Raping the bond of brotherhood
Insulting the faith of togetherness
Creating fears that mar
Across sanctity’s greatest forces?
IV
Why?
Why must brothers be burned by bitterness?
Why must chaos arise from sluggishness?
Why is ignorance a king in a mortal realm?
Eyes of heaven watch
With quavering mouth
Let not its angry thunders erupt!
