This poem describes the resilience of the people in the face of political dictatorship.
You took my leader
        I did not stray,
You took my land
        I did not run,
You took my love
        I did not cry,
You took my food
        I did not starve,
You took my pride
        I did not fall.

How can I die?
How can I die…
When you are not
Through with killing me?!
