WHAT I WILL

Prepared by Anyuon-magedem (Sunheir’s)

–

I will not dance to your war drums

I will not lend my soul nor my bones to your war drums

I will not dance for that beating

–

I will not dance to your drums of wars

I will not pop, spin or break for you

I will not hate for you or even hate you

–

I will not kill for you

especially I will not die for you

I will not mourn the dead with murderer nor massacrer

–

I will not side with you or dance to bump because everyone is dancing

everyone can be wrong, life is right not collateral or casual

i know that beating, it is lifeless.

–

I will not forget where I come from

I will devote to my own drum

I will not be played

–

I will dance and resist

I will dance and persist, for the heart beats are louder than death

because your war drums ain’t louder.

–

I will learn to forgive and forget

I will not defence against peace

i will rather fight against injustice

–

I will dance and sheer with peace beatings

I will laugh and celebrate with my enemy

I will not go for an eye with an eye because world ain’t be blinded

–

I will not dance for such beatings

I won’t give peace in vain

I will not dance for such beatings.
