Is it fair
to comply
to the bad use of the law?

Is it fair
to uphold
that which should not be believed?

Is it fair
to find demise
as a consequence of people's ignorance?

I think not.
I say no.
This is war.
This is wrong.

I say no.
I say as I may say.
I may say as I please.

Your bolts
do not work against me;
your fear does not live
within me.

I stand
because I know what is right and
lastly
I stand because if I did not
then standing would soon become another crime.

It is not fair.
I am human.
It is not fair.
I am soul.

When you see
that your acts kill.
Wait- you see that-
one more falls.
