Let each have their say
it's what everyone is entitled to
however insignificant it's still their story
this applies also to me and you-

life is the universal democracy-
I am unafraid to declare
I've fought, I suffered
and bled. I was there-

no life is the same
we should deal not
with the general
but the particular--each thought

belongs to the individual
it's what makes him or her
let's step aside and our prejudice
cast--we aren't asked to concur.
* inspired by an idea of Simone de Beauvoir
