Ruggedness: The Power of Hope
15 February 2014
An entry in The Crocodile Prize
Kina Securities Poetry Award
That rugged road
a cupid code
That misty mountain
an empty emotion
That friendly hug
a heartily hug
Those tears from the side
Are souvenirs of countryside
Maril Nule runs below
Iri Maule stations in snow
Waramon sings
Omindara sings
Sons of Yuri
Daughters of Yuri
Alai is calling
Maril Nule is calling
Fear not the fight
But your ancestral right
Though rugged is the terrain
Your hearts must maintain
Though bleak is our hope
Is the challenge we must cope
Tears of our mothers
Tears of our fathers
Shall no longer be
But united shall we be
Our children
Their children’s children
Shall no longer roam
But come home
Let ruggedness
Be the strength of progress
Jimmy Drekore man bilong tok singsing.
