The Revelation

beneath the soil grave an echo cried out
arise brother, sister, mother, father,
parent, friend
succumb not to fiendish and cruelest
death,
come, breath long, wide and deep
be strongest, permit not the wicked
to seize and end Life, that is God’s
precious gift
yes, your life’s disintegrated by the
enemies
of steel, yet unyielding to any
unfriendly terms
continue to breath for life and be more
stronger
you are not alone but in solidarity with
others
ascertain to struggle and dare to continue
the fight
be firm and be steadfast with your faith
end slavery perpetrated by the ladies and
lords
the landed gentry, the upper class in
society
trusted puppets occupying huge posts
eloquent speeches, lies, corruption and
immorality
fortified by the rule of law and executive
orders
concealing their rottenness, futility
and conspiracy
your land, your dwelling place God has
given it a great bless
allow the imperialists’ machineries,
entrust their dummies
the future generation will die the soonest
in the process
be vigilant and take care your dwelling
place
even offering one’s life in fearless
defense
and in every heart and mind your name
forever remains
our forebears defended the tyrants
highly honoring the brave ones
commending genuine revolutionaries
to all parts of this land and in every
corners
into the altar of change, all will offer
salutations
to dearly old and new comrades and friends
announcing the Shalom, the biblical
jubilee
is the peoples’ genuine victory
peace, justice, love and equality
food, job, shelter and security
the great promise of life’s abundance
marks the Year of the Lord is at hand
