Who killed the dead?

Known peace loving among men and women
Championed dialogue and co-existence
Firmed the stand on ancestral domain
Spoke vocally against mining


A silent man while walking to his home
Met by her daughter with his wife in the road
Gun shots pinned him down to no mercy
Still able to cover to let his wife ran free


Known mediator and facilitator
Active in non-violent conflict transformation
Active in advancing the right to self-determination
Missing and never been found

Agrarian reform activist as a peasant
Never been cowed by the threats
Harassment made her more than strong
Shut down by the cowards while riding towards home

Tortured, Disappeared and murdered
Believing that the current system is wrong
Leading mass movements for so long
Silenced by the hoodlums

Just wanted to be free
Free from ideological and partisan stands
As tribe leaders only wanted to be independent
Harassed by the left and the right

Being critical and vocal in print and broadcast
Speaking, writing to inform the mass
Hitting and exposing the hidden and anomalies
Gunned down and no justice

Killed and justice denied
Killers were defended and justified
Who killed the dead?
Who killed the dead?
