Shadows of a Nation’s Struggle

Title: Shadows of a Nation’s Struggle

Under the sun’s unyielding glare,
A land torn apart by strife and despair.
Voices rise, mingling with the drumbeat,
A payroll dispute, a tale on repeat.

In whispers of the forgotten and oppressed,
Unheard grievances fiercely manifest.
Anguish engulfs the city’s tangled lanes,
Pandemonium reigns as chaos sustains.

A nation teetering on the edge of might,
Engulfed in darkness, longing for the light.
In suffocating shadows, cries resonate,
As dreams of tranquility meet a cruel fate.

Amidst the turmoil, a plea for change,
The yearning for fairness, a demand to arrange.
Through fractured unity, resilience does rise,
A defiant spirit, forever to mesmerize.

In the aftermath, hope flickers anew,
Fresh beginnings birthing a different view.
Once ravaged streets, now filled with grace,
A catalyst for healing, a sacred space.

Let the wounds be mended, a united stand,
Hand in hand, we shall rebuild this land.
From shattered fragments, a phoenix rises high,
As we seek justice beneath Papua New Guinea’s sky.
