Analysis of Of death no more

Joseph Berolo 1934 (Bogotá)



Of Death No More
September two thousand and one forever

It is the walk of the naked
on the road to faded hopes,
the land scorched by hate
and faceless beings resolve
to die and death along prolong.
Of life devoid appear the world
and yet beyond the graves
of dreams asleep in melted steel,
this land of ours soars anew
for in pain and doom, we feel
the need to live and build
and be the light upon the shores
of love and faith in God
