“Unwrite Me, You Cannot (Sonnet 1949)
I've written my life on the fabric of time,
no matter how much you try, you cannot unwrite me.
My childhood friends are now parents to children,
while I stand alone as the keeper of humanity.
Even the woman I once dreamt a life with, is now
a mother, yet my struggle continues for eternity.
May they all have a full and flourishing life,
but mine is to die as the lampbearer of liberty.
I took the road less travelled, of my own accord,
so the marginalized could have some tranquility.
There's nothing groundbreaking in a life of comfort,
we break ground by being antidote to animosity.
I've written my life on the fabric of time,
try all you like, unwrite me, you cannot.
You can pin me to the ground or on the wall,
but unsee, unhear, unwrite me, you cannot.”
― Azad Earth Army: When The World Cries Blood
