They blinded me,
saying the world has none but evil to see.
They took away my tongue,
saying the world has just poisoned tongues to hear,
They cut away my limbs,
saying I shall be spared from working for evil.
They took away my legs,
Saying I don’t have to run away from protection.
They still couldn’t take away my freedom,
For they realized it is that which I breathe.
Hence I stare at the long darkness of the gun muzzle,
Waiting for the certain death at the other end with a smile.
the bullet can take my life but not the meaning it held,
it can take my soul but not the light it spread
