Go ahead and use them all.
Use all the weapons you got.
Try to shot me down and let me fall.
Still I resist to every shot.

Go ahead and buy all the trash.
Buy all the people you can.
Try to tempt me with your cash.
Still I resist to every coin.

Go ahead kill and spread the blood in every block.
Take innocent lives and every home you destroy.
Try to threat me if I dare to talk.
Still I resist and play with you like a toy.

It's you turn now.
Your time of Glory and Celebrity.
Just be patient and somehow.
You will lose all dignity.

I am not afraid from you.
Not even from stronger than you.

The Truth has a Tongue.
And my Voice is louder than you.
The good Lord is with us all along.
He hears every prayer too.
Once again and over the wrong.
The Truth will Triumph and light up the way through.

The author's comments:
It may seem like it'll never stop and go on just like that forever but the truth has a tongue and it takes time to talk out loud but always shows up on the perfect moment. For all thoses who are exposed to war! Never lose faith and always try to get back on your feet cuz God never gives you more than you can take.

Thank you I'm happy I got to inspire you ^_^ Though now that my teacher read it, he found a lot of spelling mistakes and I feel so stupid but anyways! What matters the most is that the meaning is there and all what I wanted to say has been said and understood. Thanks a lot again for the support :)

Its deep and painful, yet powerful...  I hope people can see the empowerment it has though.  Just check grammar and spelling and it'll really be force.  Keep up the great work.  Live it!
