In this time of fear called peace
In this place of dying called vision
We have chosen
To survive

Witness 88: Vulture VeeVIKAA
Yenyewe Sir God hutujalia jo.
kama si ukame au wanadamu
kufanya vita wenyewe
hatujawahi kufa njaa
Sielewi. labda ni sacrifices
wanatolea mashetani yao.
Kama ni sisi tunafaidika,
labda ni sisi wanaombea?
Witness 19
