Slavery is –
A silent chain
That locks the soul
With invisible jailers.
It commands us
To live without questioning,
To dream only what is permitted,
Tied to the leash of politics.
War is –
Not just torn chests and broken bones,
But the roar of resistance!
The birth pain of liberation!
Sometimes…
A nation is born
On the very soil where blood once bled.
Yet…
Even in that burning soil,
Some choose to remain slaves –
Because fear is their god.
We must realize –
Slavery is brutality in disguise.
Silence is a slow death.
War is not the answer,
But submission is never an option!
We must rise…
Toward the light.
Beyond the horrors of war,
To the path of true freedom!

“From the silence of slavery,
we must become the voice of resistance.”
