What other language should we use?
We have spoken in violence and dialogue yet you refuse
Please consider their youthful lives
Don’t make they you knew wives
Take pity on the womb that bore them
Don’t for selfishness end the ancient stem
Their homes might not be heaven
But their absence has left well wishers heartbroken
The whole world implores your conscience
While we wait in patience
For the successful return of our girls
That we may have a peaceful twirl
