He has fought wars for his country
He has given up his life for his people
Why have you not moved? , they ask
I have moved for my country
But I will move no longer
Let me be
Sometimes, they ask
Is it hard to be blind?
I gave them my eyes
The least you could give me, he says
Is peace
He has fought wars for his country
He has given up his life for his people
There were others, they say
You were just a man
I may be just a man
And you are also just a man
But I have done what you have not
Live your life, they say
Now, you can do what you want
Is there anything left for me?
After the war has gone?
He has fought wars for his country
He has given up his life for his people
He was a good man, they mourned
He gave up his life for his country
Let the man rest
After all he has done
The rivers will flow
And people will go
And one day
No one will remember
That there was once a man
He has fought wars for his country
He has given up his life for his people
