Hearts of Good Men,Be Wise...
Past and present,
like defeat and glory,
have many similarities;
goodness and wickedness
still fight so fiercely...
down the uncertain path,
but which one,by luck,
will win the victory?
Injustice and fairness
have been only fiends;
and who can predict destiny
by believing in falsity,
if nobody is led by coscience
and self-dignity?
Hearts of good men,be wise...
search for what is good,
and seek wisdom with prudence...
however difficult and long
the road to peace will be!
Hearts of good men,be wise...
pay with your lives and spill
your precious blood...
if that has the power and the will
to change hatred to love!
And you will be remembered
for your bravery and sacrifice;
look around,not too many
are willing to take that risk...
for the fear of being called,"Foolish!"
Your names will be part of History:
to be admired and glorified,
and your struggle for righteousness
will give anyone hope for unity...
to erase the ugly word,"Indifference."
Hearts of good men,be wise...
put compassion before pride;
no fight will ever be won
without courage and bravery!
How can you turn your back
on this helpless Humanity,
whom is completely off the right track?
To live life for a great and right cause...
is worth more than the ultimate sacrifice!
