Why do I keep quiet?
I see him being beaten
kicked
trampled
strangled
and
finally
killed
I keep quiet
because -
this was for the freedom of these
who beat, kick, trample, strangle,
and kill others now
and for these
who are beaten, kicked, trampled, strangled
my forefathers gave their lives
and died
earlier
and
this fallen one…
who is beaten, kicked, trampled, and strangled
has been cheering for
these hooligans
once
