For the first time not
For the first time
I was part of authorities
Being an ear at them
Debating about my sisters
Death maker
For the first time
We sit on the wooden
Chairs of the court
For the first time
We pleasure the environment
Of the law
But…
Not for the first time
I heard the price
Of a human being soul
Not for the first time

I'm one in a million
I’m one in a million
Of people who claims to be
But no one knows me
One in a million
Of people who are writing
But no one is willing to read
I’m one in a million
Of people who has serious
Entertaining issues
But no one is interested in them
One in a million
Of people who sings
But no one recognize me

Of people who are renaissance

Making speeches like damn
Combining words
Building sentences

Like person reading a Braille
Showing how strong I dare
But still at night I stare

Hard we fought
Me and myself
Catharsis we brought
Was the throne we got
Through the valley of isolation
That nearly casted me,
The deep dark forest of void
That hardly chafed me
But surrender I shall not do
Neither ceases nor ravages me
Because our gallant regiments
Were there not to retaliate
But to build tall walls
This shall repel and decompose
Battalions of regiment of my foe
Recognition and Jubilance
Was what we fought for
For a chance I’m not
Blaming foe the war:
Departing family’s love
