Poetry
By:
Dionisio de Jesus Lopes
You stood to fight for freedom.
You fought to keep the culture.
You fearlessly spoke in Tetum.
The native tongue…our pasture!
Your selfless love was like a hope rising in the east.
Your nerve and sinews was like a lit in our hearts.
Your fearless thoughts and acts woke up the least.
Broke the silence, made us rise in the field.
Thy principles we will uphold forever,
We will embrace in selfless love in times of call.
For Thy memoirs so great and clear,
Shall tell your great memoirs, Konis Santana!
