Excellence Award in the 'Unleashed 2022' competition

From the glistening of the waterfalls,
To the majestic mountain landscapes,
The rustling of the night, the full moon shining bright.
When the rain begins to drizzle,
The tree frogs come out to play,
The colours of greenness start to burst and we joyfully bless our day.
‘Cause they won’t knock us over,
We’ll stand up for what is right.
The past won’t become our future, no one shall win the fight.
The terror and the frustration,
The thought won’t be the last.
The darkness may be endless if we rely so much on the past.
It’s time to pack our bags,
Ready for a bright future.
After rain is a rainbow and like the thorns and the rose.
They grow.
