O, my Love, my Land

From afar, the dimming star of our love

Strikes chords that are so deepIt feels like the touch of frozen light bulb

Against my tongue

Awakening within me memories of raw earth

O, my land, my love 

Whatever happened to the promise of the beginning

That kept us together in love’s embrace

With a hope of unturned tommorows

We could have become anything we wantedUnder heaven’s starry eyes

Yet, look -

Now, all we have to show is nothing but

Bags of bones and plastic promises

Baton sticks, and tear gas cannisters

And potholed streets pregnant with aborted dreams 

How I wish we could run again my love

Far from the deadness of our soul

Into the milky brightness of the future

O, yes love, my land

Let’s exit the madness of our time now

And rediscover our lost love
