This Precious Birthright
This secret power
which was entrusted to me,
transformed the dullest days
into magnificent brilliance;
I can't let life's promising dreams
be wasted or be ignored by me...
because they will glow and then shine
at a time when all seems
to be rapidly going down:
to reaveal their true purpose
when they open this forgotten,rusty door...
Unacceptable and conflicting ideologies
must vanish and renounce any attempt
to punish me with severe intimidation:
as I openly and fervently claim
this precious birthright;
let no unprincipled man
hurl his frustration at me
or cast envy upon me!
I intend to honor the indissoluble justice,
love the deserving profoundly
and help the hopeless
get more out of life;
what concerns me is their misery...
I must never be too inquisitive or
impose self-revelation on all;
but humanly and sincerely share
every gift that the Almight God
freely and gladly gave me with trust,
so that I would not forfeit
this precious birthright...
