Unless a Coward

I always love peace. Not anyone loves war, unless a coward. The call for war is never my choice. I am not brave enough, but I call for peace. In the homeland of promise, I remain my quest. In my quest for peace, I promise to save. And I am not to beg independence be granted. If I do so, I recognize your law. My own law teaches kindness, So as yours teaches compassion. I am thought not to hate, Never were you thought to kill. I don’t claim to be unconquered, But it is what I believed. Like people have live, Their traces never fade. Written in the pages of civilizations, I read, my forefathers have sworn. Never in war you when you return. The least is peace you shall be born. I have my name, I love it most. Don’t ever chance it to one that’s false. If I am a ‘current’ don’t make it a ‘lake’ And don’t call me, as ‘enemies’ did. I am not moron, but I am tanned. My skin is a symbol that I am. Loving my own is not just for freedom. But a mere reminder, I am not for war. So leave, take your arms with you. Don’t keep your hand, grip me as foe. I will not fight you, but I need to defend. My blood never shall I wasted to kill you. Thursday, 12 February 2015 2:30PM, Sofa Purple, UCA, BKK
