The Half-Naked Papuan Child Is Crying
In The Hot Watchful Sun Waiting
Desperately For Help…
His Sweating Feet Tremble With Fear
As He Stands His Future Generation…
The Scaring Indonesian Death Squad
Moves To And Fro Right Before His Tearful eyes
Searching To Kill His One And Only Father…
They Seem To Manifestly Overlook The Child’s Plea
Who Needs His Father’s Care As The Remedy…
For That Matter, To Think Of A Frightened Kin
Feeling Insecure And Ignored On His Own
Native Land Is Morally Pitiful And Unacceptable
To Our Own Melanesian Conscience…
The Merciful Sun Is Up There, A Daily Eyewitness
To All Those Ruthless Killings And Bitterness
But Can Do Nothing…
Its Only Wish Is For The UN, Guardian Of Peace,
To Intervene Sooner, Stops this Ongoing Bloodshed
And Facilitates A Peaceful Transition
Of West – Papua To Self- Determination…
