To those following your course

Afghanistan, Cambodia or Syria
The world is on the bloody rock
As guns keep warring fire
Your sons are called for work

The words do vanish in the smoke
Of hatred fires burning
No peaceful seed to grow
In conflict aching soil

I take my step aboard
Don’t care destination
Again, as always - on alert
Ceasefire - is my designation

It is the bridge to be restored
Demolished in the havoc
Inspire those who’ve lost the score
Yet cherish nation’s spirit

I’ll take the ruins as a start
No place for silly feelings
You gave me this mandate -
Make peace off debris pieces

Forget those childish games
I’ve heard: Success – does really matter!
My university, I tell you - Thanks
Your universe still glitters!
