Poet for the People

You are the voice of the nation
Your anger and frustration

Rides a crest of a wave
Surfing over the rave

Your power and poetry
Darkness and hurt you cry

To rise and live free
From the malay you see

Your passion in the rap
Seems to turn on a tap

Amongst the youth
Searching for their truth

Your words help them form
Opinions that lead reform

The young nation needs you
To shout loud what is true

Helping the spirit guide
The turning growing tide

Towards a real fresh start
As Timor finds its own heart
