You may murder
the people,
but you can’t
take away their souls;
you may destroy
their bodies
but their spirits
live forever.
You may massacre
our communities,
but the village’s hope
and faith will remain;
you may try,
but can’t kill us all.
Like time,
we’re here to stay.
P.S.: What you thought
was a nightmare,
is a reality.
Wherever you are,
we are like
your shadow;
we’ll be there too:
even in death.
