Eunuchs Shoes

The testimonies will continue to bounce
Make you bruise along the story
The steps of your shoes still stored there
In a burning city
With black smoke billowing into the sky
Incising the soot of a nation
Where relatives of humans debased




Testimonies are louder than rifles ripples released
Thus, the city off from your hand

You're not a Pontius Pilate who can wash your hands of a bowl
which is flooded by the blood of your own brothers
It's just that, you want to continue to build a fragile economy dynasty
And leaving a long history of debt
For you legitimize it as hero

Maybe we do not need to look back
If we just want to be a pillar of salt
From a city called Sodom and Gomorrah
And allow ourselves to just be eunuchs
Of a regime that does not bore the dignity
Except the losers who are beating our own chests
Without a clear gender
Where there's a bastard tells
From a fairy tale that never existed.
