Tribute to the Late
  • Francis Ona


  • Far in the woods called Guava place

    Runs your name in every tears

    Another death to the many for Me’ekamui ‘the sacred island’

    North Solomons sometimes we say

    Concepts that did not separate us

    Islands we truthfully protects

    Solomon Islands knows you;

    Late Francis Ona, We feel with the Bougainville people as we hear your passing away

    Our Prayers and Condolence for your Family and former fighters of a freedom Movement

    Now a new dawn for Bougainville political autonomous government; the cause must go on


    Ahead lies the future for Bougainvilleans (and all of us) to look

    A Rebel Yesterday; a hero today!

    Goodbye Son of Me’ekamui
