Hope

Firelily

Wretches born with ropes 

Around our necks

The lavish whips of our oppressors

Abundant tears for the race;

Of the unlucky

Sad generation with beautiful pictures

The falsehood of our lives

We suffer , 

Yet we continue to laugh

Our anger , righteous anger 

We claim

Only capable of pity 

Not capable

Of shedding our burden

Daily is the battle we fight

To resist our homeland

A nightmare of anguish
