if you raise a dog feed it

if you raise a dog and do not feed it

it will eat you

eat you it will

when the freedom comes nurture it

it has been won on the blood of martyrs

now is the time to invent the future

if the peoples will may be accepted

sing the songs

the songs to remind you of the wet dung

songs to remind you of the healing of divisions

songs of the future being made

remember the smell,

the scent of ancient salts

the breeze of still waters in the morning sun

remember

if you raise a dog

feed it

if you raise a dog

and do not feed it it will eat you

eat you it will

when the freedom comes nurture it

it has been won on the blood of martyrs now is the time to invent the future.
