Green grave though unknown to people.

Internationally recognized as national flag;

Not to buy/sell to my existence of soil.

Not to be landed by unrecognized ruler.

Sound of injustice is heard from distance.

I am morally born from my religion.

Religion of moral standard

Birth of light to be planted again in soil

Nation of natural wealth,

Soil of my existential voice

Voice of justice and glory

Voice of independency of thought

Voice of existence and undead music of justice in my lively grave.

The words from the sea waves to murmur,

The air of breath to national soil

My words are carving my painted art.

My shining creativity emerges from the womb of my mother.

That seems the huge personality on the crafted tomb.

Grass of life singing the song of humanity.

The art of eternity in my leaving life

Always remains with humanity and standard morality.

My death early in the love life

Crafted with eternal words

Decorated with the garland of creativity.

Self-respect is on the mysterious tomb.

Featuring as the highest artist of world.

In top, my name is designed.

In depth, the humanity is mentioned.

The struggle to teach humanity and moral

My tomb lives higher then rulers.

I am named as the scholar of the universe.

I am essence to provide light.

I can win against sea waves.

I can lead the universe herself.

My tomb of eternal teaches people.

My tomb remains the evergreen source of knowledge and wisdom.

My crafted words weave the garland of humanity.

It tells to invite peace and prosperity.

The words on grave invite people of higher thinking

To pause war and battlefield.

My sunshine is about art of morality

To bring the peace and healthy mind of beings.
