For Liberty

Today I made a pact,
And in this oath I swore
That I would act-
Without resting when some are without comfort.

I promise I'll work all day,
Sleep less at night,
And from this I will not sway-
For I have a responibility.

I never knew this happened,
That somewhere not so far,
Wars hand was not yet slackened.
That innocents were slaughtered mercilessly.

The deaths so well concealed,
Haunt the deep new trenches of my mind.
To me they have been revealed,
And now I act because I must.

Those who are given great knowledge,
Must act upon the task they are given.
And if i sit here and just acknowledge
I do little good in this life I live.

What good can I do?
There is so, so much.
So till then I have a debt due,
To society, to mankind- for liberty.
