What do I?

 

what do I write for?

if it is not for the honor?

for my people

who are forced to struggle

 

I shall be cheating

if not equating their efforts

with that of sacrifice

that has been made with the promises

 

what is the use of metaphors

and ornamented with clear words

if they don't speak for all those

who have stood alone on a not chosen path

 

They toil in the fields

and yet not yield

enough of power and money

this is a pity in our country

 

I shall sing for unheard heroes

whose sacrifices go!

as if in vain

and that pains me a lot

 

so I make the poetry very simple

for people

who can understand really feel

and happily tell others
