He killed his brother
for the sake of land;
I killed mine,
because he was not a believer.
Am I a human,
or just belong to
certain race, religion, sect, ideology or tribe?
Am I a free man,
or just trapped in the self-created, six feet coffin
of pseudo-pride?
I know not
either you are righteous
or I am truthful.
I just know
we are celebrating
our independence day
in the midst of
self-imposed bloodshed,
corrupt leadership,
on-sale dignity,
mocking poverty,
and dying morality.
