My last breathe
I gasp
Sinking into sorrow
Who would believe?
A nation I once held
Rejection from tribes from afar
In defense I stood alone,
But mocked by fellow kinship
No statue honoring my name
Slandered by curse
Words pierce defeafen ears
Jealousy rages a counsel by shame
Am I diminish by treachery
From the people I love
A leader fall to death
Concealment in a tomb
As the sun shines east
A soul is born again
