Homeland
Let them deny painfully
Where their belly fell
Let them run hastily
To where we can’t tell
They are like rain beaten birds
of the forest
O’
Why not tie a bond
And plan to re-make
the smelling pond?
I’m voicing the reality now
Listen,
This is my homeland
I stand to be a native
The indigenous lover
of my land and culture
May I wear not
The visitor’s shoe
Even if
I walk bare footed
For I keep the strength
in dignified forefathers
How hot
the gravels may be
I still seize not
to be a member
of my homeland
