Shoot Away

The world can only be seen through the shades of corruption.

It's talent to carry life is drained, and nothing is made but death.

How can we live a life that can only let us die.

How can we live without the feeling of freedom crawling inside our skin.

Wake up

Scream out loud

Dance in the rain

Jump off a bridge.

Do anything other than wait to die.

Your guns don't scare us.

Shoot away.

We will die one way or anther.

We will shout and scream

until the world hears us fighting

or until we die with sore throats and choke on our own blood.

You can't silence us all.

You will eventually run out of bullets before the last one of us falls.

Shoot Away

I am not afraid.

Once I fall, thousands will take my stand.

I am dying for the world to change,

for families to live together like what became fairy-tales.

I am dying to know that your freedom will once again be in your own hands,

that it's not under surveillance every second of every day,

that it's not being stolen away by words written on fake paper and passed on as it it's word of God.

I will die so a child won't need to use his teddy bear to fight nightmares while he's awake.

Shoot so I can have the freedom to die by a choice I made.

-Nadin El.
