I Know
I know life is harder
When you are honest
I know when no one misses you
In your life
No one will miss you
After your death
I know your children have no time
For you
However, they have plenty of time
For others
I know you have to bear your all griefs alone
Despite that
Your eyes travel, carrying hopes
Perhaps someone would come to share it
I know you have a deadly disease
You still expect a miracle
I know without money, exists neither justice
Nor human rights
You raise the voice and fight for that
With empty hands
I know it is stupidity,
You practice that again and again,
Without getting the outcome
I know you will die one day, whenever it comes
I do not know what will be after that?
