My city bleeds
My heart bleeds

The blood which ran in our veins now flow freely on tarred roads and dusty paths
When did my city start treading down this path?
When did speaking freely and stating one's views begin to preceed the journey to the loss of body parts?
When did the former united nation begin to disintegrate into several parts?

Bodies lay splayed on the ground, taking their last breath as the cord that suspends their lives get severed
Old, young, male, female; none is spared
Humans ending the journey of other humans over nothing
Animals in human skin now parade my city

Woe unto you, O heartless killers
I curse your generation, you cold-blooded destroyers
Though you've made us shed uncontrollable tears and lay out hearts bare
The time is near when your oppressed will take their stand and become your worst nightmare.
