A little child stands tall
With an ultimate mission
Fighting against all odds
Fulfilling his only heartfelt vision
In his eyes, I see hope
In his smile, I see pain
In his words, I see concern
In his actions, I see change
You imprisoned his father
And cut off his hands
You killed his brothers
With your guns, bombs, weapons & tanks
Your soldiers raped his sisters
And destroyed their homes
Now this little kid is dying
Yet living all alone
He stands immense with courage
In-front of your tank
With nothing else but a little stone
Placed in his hand
But you see him as a threat
And you order his demise
Remember you can kill a person
But, revolutions never die
Your soldier steps out the tank
And slips on his gloves
He loads the pistol with bullets
The child looks to the sky above
Clutching the trigger with his finger
While the gun is in his hand
He tightens his grip, inhales deep
And then the trigger goes BANG!!
Now
Tell me who is right?
And
Tell me who is wrong?
Please
Tell me who is weak?
And
Tell me who is strong?
Can you
Tell me who will win?
And
Tell me who will fail?
Will you
Tell me who will perish?
And
Tell me who will prevail?
The soldier starts to walk back
With a smile on his face
But deep down he pictures his own child
In the other child's place
The victim lies in his own blood
While tears stain his cheek
Now a statistic of oppression
Where superior test the weak
The soldier now suffers depression
And countless mental disorders
There's a fire burning inside him
Yet the world keeps getting colder
He has a gun placed to his head
Hopefully, this will set him free
How do I know? Well I forgot to mention
The soldier was ME.
