Truth And Cross
I should forget
The atrocities upon me
I would wrap
A shroud of silence
In my destroyed life
I should not write my pain
I should not shed
Even a single tear
On the barbarism
I should close my mouth
I should break my pen
Just for cruel ones
That may lose its respect
Otherwise,
Such so-called
Decent people would mock me
Because they are powerful
I would lose all
However,
I have written the truth
I have no fear
To become a victim again.
