If I would ask <br />Just to forget the past <br />Who I am and <br />Who will I be? <br /> <br />If I would ask <br />Just to forgive <br />Who I am and <br />Who will I be? <br /> <br />If I would ask <br />To fight with the past <br />Who I am <br />Who will I be? <br /> <br />If I am a victim <br />Use the word of forget or forgive <br />The others would say <br />That I am Crazy. <br /> <br />If I am the other side <br />Use the words of those <br />Will be a lie <br />Then where can I stand? <br />And what's the word <br /> <br />If the Forget is meaningless and <br />Forgive is useless <br />The Fight will be the word <br />But I feel that it is aimless <br />Nevertheless, it is a hope <br /> <br />Though the history belongs to past <br />And chapters are black <br />Memories and pains are behind <br />Together with blood of soil <br />And sighs of relatives <br />Shadows as ghosts <br /> <br />Lost souls <br />Needy of dignity crawls <br />To gain the demands <br />People fought and voiced <br />Everything in the past <br />That I today use <br />For the system is a profit <br />A capital for actors <br /> <br /> <br />Having said to forget or to forgive or to fight <br />Turning point will support <br />Not for the objects <br />But for the subjects <br />Then what's the word <br />Belongs to the justice, truth and dignity <br /> <br />To forget <br />There is no any sojourn <br />To forgive <br />There is no any consent <br />To fight <br />There is no any hope<br /><br />Udaya R.
