Build Again

We fought a good fight.

Although dreams were sacrificed,

Moral values had to be changed,

we fought a good fight.

It is time to build again.

Back-stabbed by colleagues,

Humiliated by subordinates,

But it is time to build again.

Slowly, an earthworm digs its hole.

Quietly, a baobab tree grew an inch.

Our hearts will not stop.

Our hearts will grow.
