Brothers. Sisters.
What have we done?
We eat the same.
We speak the same.
We worship the same.
We are the same.
Our peaceful land is no more.
Bruises and scars,
Lost friends and lost family,
All remind us
of the wrongs we have done.
Jealousy and hatred,
Evil and power,
They took over our bodies.
We could have fought it…
If we were stronger.
But now I know
We were the ones that were weak.
Before my time is up,
I would like a few last words.
I deserve to die,
For many innocent people
Have lost their lives.
What has been done
Cannot be undone.
And all I have left to say is
I am sorry.
