Humans are free by nature

For the whole month i was reminded of,
and greatly perturbed by some historical happenings,
and truth that has been hidden away for decades,
a pandora’s box threatening to pop open someday.

As a human being of the same human race,
borne of the same rights, the same dignity,
it became disturbing, and finally torturous,
to watch righteous men and women who
fought for the equality of fellow countrymen
crushed in the hand of the tyrant, while those
shackled in blind servility and gullible obedience
continue to live a life void of freedom
and aspiration.

My greatest respect and admiration to the fighters
who have placed this country and its people
before themselves.
