“Mama Kraon, Mi Sori”
- Tracy Uvoi Namel
Mama kraon, mi stap talem yes
Long olgeta dil, long olgeta pepa we mi no save stret.
Oli talem “divelopmen,” mi talem “go-ahed,”
Be hat blong yu i stap blid, i stap ded.
Yu bin kivim kaikai, yu bin kivim ples blong mi stanap,
Be mi salem yu long man we i no klosap.
Mi talem se mi strong, mi talem se mi praod,
Be mi salem aedentiti blong mi long fulap man aotsaed.
Kraon ia, hem i mama, hem i mi,
Be mi salem hem olsem hem i nogat laef.
Fiuja blong olgeta pikinini i stap long kraon,
Be from wanem mi tekem mane mo lego aedentiti mo kalja blong mi?
