The cost of so
many lives, innocents,
trampled, beaten, yet unbowed,
lost under the oppressors’ boots,
their missile fire, their terror,
a genocide so unnecessary,
their imperialist lust for power,
usurping their sovereignty…
Trampled, soiled,
tarnished,
the noble flag of this brave people,
but unbowed, unbroken, resolute,
united in their struggle, their determination,
that the blue and yellow flag, of this land,
of their nation, their independence,
would rise from the ashes of war…
Stained with the
blood of their children,
their brave sons and daughters,
trampled, in the mud, in the rubble,
hidden in the black soil, in their hearts,
rising like a phoenix, from the ashes,
resolve personified, strong in this battle,
never giving up, pressing onward,
their prayer, their hope in victory…
