POETRY OF CONSCIOUSNESS 'I AM NOT A COWARD'

I am not a coward, I wish the battle is won

but I am scared of being the only one,

I am sick by the heroes Laying their lives,

is this the way we'll continue to strive?

We’re the leaders of tomorrow, it is a long time deception.

Yet will haven’t found a solution, 

I wish the dead youths of this campaign are proud of us,

they laid their greatest right for us.

We are here for peace not for war,

they never want it to occur,

we have been singing national anthem in agony, 

they laughed at us and said these people are funny.

I will tell my kids we tried to fix the nation,

we make an attempt to build their generation

but we were killed and beseeched,

tied down by a speechless speech.

I am not giving up yet but I hope for change someday,

our fallen heroes will be proud of that day,

when they parted the way,

we’ll no longer lead ourselves astray.
