A Caveat

Indomitable 

The thing you never thought before 
Totally Unsaid unseen that is
My thought, virgin
It never depends on any membrane 
Nor my chastity belongs to my body 
It is completely a matter of soul 
Conviction is not a matter 
That you can cripple it
With missiles and bombs
The spirit of my humanity is not a wire 
That it will bend or bow under any pressure 
Neither my creed will vaporise 
Like a drop of camphor 
Under your scathing attack 
Nor will it be unholy by any human touch
