We are born into a world that demands our silence. They tell you to smile while you bleed, to be grateful for the crumbs they toss from their tables. But pain is just the chisel carving your soul. Endure the fire. Outlive them all.
Look at your leaders. They trade your blood for oil, your future for their yachts. They call it "defense", we call it slaughter. The borders they draw are just scars on the earth. Dictators don't wear crowns anymore; they wear suits, shake hands, and smile on television while the poor starve in the gutters.
War is not glory. It is the rich sending the poor to die for a flag that doesn't even know their names. We do not fight for nations. We fight for the truth they try to bury.
And to those who only call when the night gets cold: I see you. You don't love me, you love what I can do for you. Keep your hollow words and your fake loyalty. I would rather walk alone in the dark than dance with shadows in the light.
