I can not forgive them

I can not forgive them-

Who brought the hell fire into the bush in guise of an ambush,

I can not forgive them-

Who killed a mockingbird in punition for singing- a curse she was born with that she can not withdraw from,

I can not forgive them-

The storytellers who always take side of the schemers,

I can not forgive them-

For what they have inflicted upon us-

Pain, death and famine-

Impoverished a flourishing yard!

I can not forgive them-

Who traded our soul for nothing,

They did not know what they want,

I can not forgive them-

For they bought an empty empire,

Selling out it at a low key auction!

I can not forgive them-

For they have shown me a world that I never wanted to see,

And, had thrown me into an abyss I never wanted to fall in,

I can not forgive them-

No matter how many centuries shall pass!

Why don’t you believe in people anymore?! – Cause, I don’t want anyone to exploit my reason. How’s that like?!
