YARAN
(KC Porter)
In Spring 2008,
In a world not yet awake,
Seven loving parents,
Arrested for their faith.
Taken from their loved ones,
And stripped of all they own,
Into a small, dark cell,
Their fate would not be known.
Teaching was their service,
Their leaders would forbid,
And now they’re serving countless years,
For things they never did.
Their only crime was selflessness,
And daring to believe,
That until there was unity,
The world would not know peace.
Yaran,
You Are Remembered And Not forgotten!
The world has come to know you,
As friends, as the Yaran,
Your strength and inspiration,
They help us carry on.
Bereft of every comfort,
Through day and sleepless night,
Still, in your darkest hour,
Your spirit’s shining bright!
We will not sleep,
‘Till you’re released,
We will not eat,
‘Till you are free,
How can we breathe,
While you’re in captivity?
A hundred million of our tears,
Are swelling up,
Swelling up the sea!
You Are Remembered And Not forgotten!
Let your spirit sing!
