Mountains
Xanana Gusm�o
Mountains
that stir up the minds
of voices that go unheard
mountains
of shedding sweats
that smear the rains green
mountains
that silence in their heights
unheard battles
mountains
of suns burnt blue
by spilt tears
mountains?
Mountains of East Timor
mountains
pregnant with blood
giving birth to pain
mountains
mournfully dressed with bones
bemoaning the struggle
Mountains of the clouds
Mountains of the winds
Mountains of the cold
The call of the homeland?
Mountains - the sanctuary
of the warrior
who has not fallen!
