Am I to Touch the Feet of the Tyrants

Am I to Touch the Feet of the Tyrants

written by: ABU SIDDIK

@ASBENM3

I ask you, friends!
Am I to touch the feet of the tyrants?
Or demolish their white towers?

Am I to kill the killers?
Or forgive them in tears?

Am I to swallow the sweet pills?
Or resist the orators?

Am I to raise my voice against the ills?
Or be a mute spectator and carry the wounds?

Am I to support the traitors of my people?
Or smash their wings to the ground?
