GAYLORD

MUNEMO

WE WAIT AND WE WONDER,

We wait and we wonder,

Created with great craftsmanship beyond measure,

She stands for this liberation that we seek,

She has seen before her sight a state of flux,

War, anger, racism, ethnocide and genocide,

Children drowned in the blood of their fathers,

Women raped and children kidnapped,

Until when shall her tears dry?

Mother earth becomes a tale of misery,

The justice that never reign,

Peace just but an ideology,

Stop the war? Stop the killing?

Hear the wailing of homeless children,

Their memories and expression of lost souls,

I am your brother, you are my sister

Put the guns down, let the peace rise

Bring the children to peace,

Bring the terror to a cease.
