I remember your stories
Of bombs and guns
Of decimated hills and homes
And broken dreams and destinies!
I remember the thunder that broke backs
That tore the roof off our homes
And brought hardship upon babies
I remember you the victor
Who took our children
And made them men,
Men which became slaves
And must flow with the waves
Of a failed nationhood!
I remember tales of portruding bellies
And men who enjoyed seeing fellow men dead
The rat-tattling of heavy machine gun
Which drove children away from their homes
And killed the soul of men who called us conmonwealth
