The poem read:

POEM FOR THE MARTYRS OF METELE

They gave their souls that we may breath and live.

They fought our battle that will end our wars.

They braved the storm that could have consumed us all.

They lighted up our darkest corners and paid its price.

They dare the Lucifer that we can be saved from all evil.

Let not their martyrdom be buried in the fog of our busy lives.

Let not their souls be forgotten in the dust of our ingratitude.

Let not their sacrifice be defaced by the wheel of time.

Let not their widows tears and grief be in vain.

Let not their orphans waste in the wilderness of our neglect.

Let not their spirit cast us in guilt.

Oh heavens of peace,

Embrace all these souls,

of men of valour who dare and died, that we may all live.
