As if death
can be a temple for some
and a doorway for others
As if we can
change a minute of the years flung away
or knit our actions into a proper suit
As if accepting
we failed someone, somewhere
is enough penance
As if justice
has any connection with supernovas
or exploding suns
As if an
urge to hate
determines our fate
As if warriors
achieve more with a pure heart
than armed with soulless steel
As if our journey
is but one path
travelled by the feet of many
As if we
could banish victimhood
and embrace our victory
NOT OVER FATE
NOT OVER ONE ANOTHER
BUT THROUGH THE POWER OF A SINGULAR, GLORIOUS CELL
