A charge to make use of the Peace our forefathers fought for
Until when?

Are we going to keep on tormenting them,

The victims of war and pandemonium,

Those washed ashore after meeting a gruesome

death at sea, all those flying comrades

Who, out of patriotism, ignored the Hades

And went aerial in order to secure peace

on land, but lost their altitudes

And were brought down by the harsh gravity

Of deadly ammunitions, and even those brave ones

Felled by the fired death from the enemy's cold irons.

For how long do we keep tormenting them?


They sacrificed for the peace of this nation,

Yet we squander the gift they bestowed.

We are the ones disturbing the peace ourselves,

Igniting chaos where serenity once flowed.

What do we gain from this self-inflicted torment?

When will we honor the peace they sought to preserve?

It's time to embrace the calm they fought for,

And nurture the harmony we truly deserve.

Until when? Until we realize the folly of our ways,

And cherish the peace they valiantly earned.

Only then can we end their torment

And let their sacrifices find meaning fulfilled.
