Eritrea Is Born
?
At last! Eritrea is free
Oh, yes, Lord
Of the Universe
Oh, yes, Lord of peace.
Now, no more aggression
Akin to human ambition
To control a fellowman
Whom your beloved son
Once shed his precious blood.
How they dared thee God!
In the absence of thy wrath
Moving to humiliate
Whom you created after your image
But without thy noble temper.
A man kills man
Not for his food
But for his pride!
What a fool!
What a wild!
So, in the world gone mad
We lean to thee
Yes, to thee
Our God.
?
What of that?
?
For freedom
At the cost of martyrdom
Can be gained
But it is hard to maintain.
