Never give up!

​The death knell to tear the mind
Scattered human bodies
My stomach is black
dreadful sounds
In the pouring projectile rain
And cluster munitions
And in the boiling chemical bombardment
As the supreme suffering is extinguished
As the sleeping skeletons pass
Feelings are wooden
holding life in hand
To stand in a single row
For a pot  of congee
Can you forget the day you lost families?
Can we forget all this today?
Will my heart just make room for it?
It is not a dream to be forgotten
Although several hundred years later
The pain of a race that is burning like fire
Our blood splattered on
Our commitment to never give up.
