Following the same form as before but with more departures.
Rejoicing

Heart greatly thankful
at the fulfillment
of reaching
fifty
amidst much austerity
after surviving a fratricidal war
but now hopeful
for a brighter
future.

Let us all
now gather all our loin-clothes
to press forward
to conquer
and recover
all that was lost
in those lost years.
