Where am I supposed to stand In all this blood and carnage Where farmers beg for food In their own homeland This love is for a nation Not for another person For they who care They were lit like flares Save this land from all this pain Abundance of lies and hate She took a stand and squealed As her tears fell along with the rain

Heroes of a Broken Land
Where am I supposed to stand In all this blood and carnage Where farmers beg for food In their own homeland This love is for a nation Not for another person For they who care They were lit like flares Save this land from all this pain Abundance of lies and hate She took a stand and squealed As her tears fell along with the rain
This poem is addressed to all the victims of the inhuman violence in the city of Kidapawan (city in the Philippines). Their plea for rice was answered by bullets through their hearts.
