Tell It Not To the Mountains

I do love,
To pass my   little fingers
Across the sharks that troubles
The sea, capsize the ships,
Tell it not to the mountains, whisper it not
To the butterfly :

Butterfly  carry it abroad to the  silence city,
(where the martyr,   hero  of our nation laid)
Grave weep out  oceans of blood their struggle has been
Capsized.

The Jericho wall has be broken,
Invaders match in,
Four building pillars of our nation collapsed
Like a china earth.

The ships capsize by incapable captains,
In the midst of ocean.

Tell it not to the butterfly less the dead mourn
And the grave flood with ocean.
