Sidetracked and sidelined,

Slowly poisoned and paralyzed.

An enemy so invincible.

A war which can never be won.

Devalued and discarded.

Clinging onto a life

Which had never been dear.

A life of victimhood.

Victim we fell to our own folks.

Take the guillotine,

And not the hemlock.

End this fast,

And no more prolong.
