How long must I scream at the sky?
Even the rocks join this awful chorus!
From a glorious day turned fowl and sour
Centuries upon centuries, I am anxious!
Howling at the moon with the dogs,
Groaning in chilling agony to the heavens,
Pangs of child birth rain a storm of tears
As the Earth quakes its foundation!
My roots and branches stretch in torture
To the famine and defenseless heartbeats;
Children's screams and blood fuel the fire
As armies march down rattled streets.
Wars and rumors of in the daily paper,
Deception slithers from multiple serpents,
Nations and brothers slitting throats,
With truth rewritten and no one repents.
Where is our hope? Who will free us?
Not the abomination causing desolation!
Break the chains of the bondage of decay,
I weep and long for the day of liberation!
How long must I scream at the sky?
Even the rocks join in this awful chorus!
When will the false claims be shuttered!
The words of the Prophets, come to pass!
- Aemilia Ela Ubhal
