A CRY FOR FREEDOM © 2008
I see everything happening around me,
And I do not defend myself from the attacks with a smile,
For falsehood, no matter how much it revolts,
No longer affects me, no longer makes me flee.
Because I fear not its deceit,
Nor the words that try to hurt,
In existing, I find the complete strength,
That gives me the consistency to coexist.
I am a stone that does not wear down to the wind,
A root that remains firm in the ground,
And even when the world is a torment,
I move in peace, true to my condition.
I let the attacks pass through me,
Like shadows that leave no mark,
For those who live truthfully until the end,
Know that lies never encompass.
