you bonded your heart
and committed to serve the people
the enemies painted your name black as coal
they hunted you that calls from home
were painfully undone
some thought of you a mystique
no one could dare say
you are dead or alive, it’s just
that you disappeared in shadows
and fasten your heart
to the revolutionary movement,
embraced a life that beats
survived moments of death cheating
and now fading away to the stars
thank you for being here
you who found life’s motive
and dared the challenges of our time.
