I don’t have any rations to put in my spoon,
I am one of those poor youth,
Who is scared and destitute.

I’m sitting in our living habitation,
Musing about the disease that caused these hard situation,
Today, the morning is over,
Still God, My shield, my weapon and my power.

Looking for the rainbow in the storm you brought us,
My God, hear my plea,
Give us solutions against this agony.

Life is useless if you will vanish,
And everyone’s lives might perrish.

As the birds fly,
