I sow seeds of hope:
In the land of annihilation
That devours dreams,
Like a whale 
Swallows vulnerable fishes.

I sow seeds of hope:
In the land of annihilation
That scorches one's hope,
Like a brutal fire
Scorches dreams to death.

I sow seeds of hope:
In the land of annihilation
Where many strives
While others drink from their sweats.

I sow seeds of hope:
In the land of annihilation
With my heart daunted
For my dreams,
Not to be eradicated
By callous hands.

Now,
The stupendous whale 
Has swallowed my dreams.

The brutal fire has scorched my hopes
Hot tears engulf my weary eyes,
My heart is left in despair.
