           【What Would I Die For?】

 

 

                    By Tian Yu Zhi

 

 

I am a civilian, not a soldier

What would I die For?

 

 

I would not die for any land or sky 

Mountain or sea, they belong to God

They were there before me, and

They will be there after me

 

 

I would not die for wealth or possession

It doesn’t take much for me to live and be happy 

Why desire so much, for a short hundred years

A handful of dust, after all

 

 

I would not die for someone else’s ambition

To unite, divide, annex, just for another’s dream 

To leave a mark in the history book 

Blood and flesh, ideology and doctrine

All perish, in the smoke and fire of war

 

 

But, Heaven forbid, I would die for my children

My family members, my true love

I would die for my friends, and the bullied 

I would die for the freedom of my soul

 

 

I become a soldier, the day 

When they try to take them away from me

 

 

    
                            2021.3.12 

 

* Pray for all those civilian turned soldiers in Ukraine
