PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

To hear about the harmony unparalleled

The sacred sacrifice, in every heart, that dwelled

Despite the war, you find them all at ease

The glory in their eyes in search of lasting peace

Proclaiming victory in their right hand

Exterminating evil from the motherland

Out of words, we stood there silently

Staring at the magic of tranquility

They’re the ones who left behind their homes

Guardian angels of their crystal domes

Their confidence revealed they had the upper hand

And things were moving forward just as planned

Their love for peace became our daily bread

This is what the young men in the fronts had said:

Have no fear dear motherland

Worry not about a thing

Your gracious wish is our command

With gratitude we proudly sing

Who will dare to change your looks

So long as we’re around

Transgressors and unthankful crooks

Will be buried in the ground

Shine like gold forever more

Your kids ask nothing in return

And enemies demanding war

In torment they will burn

Your soil will not be taken

Your seas are yours to keep

You’re not to be forsaken

Your children never sleep

Fear no evil human force

Except for God who makes it all

For He will make them have remorse

And they will have their greatest fall

Mother Eritrea,

Our roots are in your caring hands

Planted in your blessed soil

And we comprise your sacred lands

For your well being we toil and moil

Your glory will be yours to keep

As we raise our solemn voice

Beneath it lies a secret deep

For ‘mother’ you’re our only choice

The dignity and pride we earn

For loving you in every way

And wanting nothing in return

Is all it takes for a brighter day!"
