The Protesters Poem by spiritual seeker

Today we come again,
In bigger numbers,
Waves upon waves,
Thousands and thousands…!

Young and old,
Men and women.. even children,
Fearless against batons and guns,
Choking pepper sprays and acid smoke.

Under the burning sun and bitter cold of nights,
We openly sang and loudly shouted,
In a single body and beating heart,
Either success or death do we depart!

Yesterday the streets were splattered with blood,
Some had lived and some had died,
Today more will follow as their guns became hot,
But we will never slowed and never stopped.

For so long our corrupted leaders had greedily squandered,
While the masses muted and long suffered,
Many innocent people had often disappeared,
Enough is enough, for these we have fearlessly protested.

For justice.. for freedom we steely strived,
This long evil suppression we must completely drive,
For my beloved nation and my people’s pride,
Today if I fall, there will be more to carry the fight.
