Strength

May 9, 2014

You may push my soul

Test my courage

Compete with my strength

Yet no matter what you do

My head and eyes will remain raised

I will carry myself with pride

No matter what you do to me

No matter what you say

You can blame me for your andger

You can curse me and my future generations

I do not care what you do

I will remain standing with pride

Unhurt by your bombardments

Uncut with yoru fierce looks

Unbruised by the strenght of your hate

I will alwys rise again

I, my cluture, my people

We will rise again

For we do not curse

We do not hurt or blame

We are all different and the same

If that hurts you

Sorry I am not

For older you may be

But wiser you are not
