A CRY FOR FREEDOM © 2008

A cry of freedom echoes at this moment,

In the hope that the life, already lived,

Will be a shining example among others,

And that, with children freed, they may, in the race,

Cross the finish line without ever knowing adulthood,

Keeping purity intact, free from disillusion,

For on this side, the straight line is only drawn in corruption,

At a crossing without lights, lost in darkness,

Where obstacles are hidden, disguised,

And decay lurks in endless alleys,

But may the cry, strong and vibrant, awaken hearts,

To avoid the sinister hiding in the shadows,

And open paths of light for new generations.
