‘Felt the heart’s old persistent music,
Beyond logic, beyond hope,
And so I didn’t heave myself
Into the blanket of fear.
To this perilous land,
I lived with you all along.
Either latent and exposed,
Still I know there’s a vivid side.
Extrajudicial atrocities
And related political violence
All over the globe;
But what your status became,
Was second among all nations!
This politically motivated murders,
Has unfastened the eyes of many.
Everything comes to blows;
Transgression and lapse like these,
Surely we’ll meet in the future.
This is the world now;
When one opt to fight or not,
Darkness will still scrap the true light.
