"We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing" By Konstantin Josef Jireček, a Czech historian, diplomat and slavist.
Love your neighbour as you love yourself
The Lord says
But we love our land more than ourselves
Our neighbours
And that is why
We voluntarily sacrificed,
Willingly died in million as martyrs
We love our land more than ourselves and
Our neighbours that is why
We sank deed in the Ocean of Debauchery
Turned our barrels against ourselves
Betrayed, sold our just cause for rewards of
Empty glories;
Glories as hollow as reed
Bitten one another‘s ear to suck a base gain
Gain as stink as carrion
We love our land more than ourselves
And our neighbours that is why
We come to gather today to reunion as
One People, one Nation, one God
By God‘s will and willing,
We forgive one another
And have forgiven one another
Forget past history of killings and counter killings
Draw up mutual roadmap for development to catch up
With developed and free world
