Uncounted Years of Pain and PainUncounted years of pain and pain…
Again and again through a maze As the enemy’s victory remains yet again Whilst heroes they count on, in silence they remain. Uncounted years of pain and pain… Through dawns which beckon their constant slain Pleading cries to no avail A prayer to be free remains in vain. Uncounted years of pain and pain… Like an endless falling of acid rain As their skin are tarnished by foreign reign In their very own soil, they will never gain. Uncounted years of pain and pain… Of a father whose son was shot in vain A mother whose daughter was raped to death; A child whose future hangs loosely over a grave Uncounted years of pain and pain… As we sleep in comfort, they remain awake We ‘stroll’ down a road, they walk in haste Our daily jolly, they never taste Uncounted years of pain and pain… Constant torture and ongoing rape Yet prolonged quest for “facts” remain; Blood shed struggles, yet we wait. Uncounted years of pain and pain… As things have been, they remain Tired wails echo in vain, As the killers remain free, where is our shame? Uncounted years of pain and pain… When we bow to pray, whose alliance do we claim? If humans we are then guilt we should gain; Why sell humanity for money and fame? |

Georgina Oroi is a law student from the Solomon Islands with a deep, unfettered passion for #freewestpapua advocacy and campaign. Her involvement with Youngsolwara started in 2017.
She believes that the Pacific region can never truly be free as long as West Papua is still under the oppressive control of the Indonesian military regime. She encourages youths across the region, as well as the globe, to join her to take a stand on the issue of West Papua, be vocal and spread its awareness because we need to be self-determinant, decolonized and free. She is living to see the day that the Morning Star shall be raised again-raised so high no one can ever take it down. “For I will continue to fight and stand up for my Pacific, knowing that I am fighting for a cause that one day the raising of the Morning Star will no longer be a crime”.
