As triumvirates go, we had the best
The cardinal, the martyr’s wife, the people no less
We gave the world peaceful revolution
Gifted ourselves a new constitution
As cardinals go, ours was most involved
In our oppression and slumber, he helped us evolve
Into a powerful and faithful force
Behold the tanks and soldiers change their course
As housewives go, ours was most dutiful
Sacrificed her family and a life plentiful
She of courage, humility and grace
Lifted a people to another place
Sadly the people are the weakest link
Faltering, wavering, and teetering on the brink
Of morality, its decency cut
By greed, selfishness, when once it was not
The cardinal and the housewife remain
In memory now, but their lives have not been in vain
If only somehow we then could conspire
For God, the country as well each other.
