stigmatized.

A second had passed,
----------But I sat still.
I hear the clock saying: tick tock, tick tock
My ears were deadened by the mute beleaguerment,
The sweet abhorrence searing through every finality
Of my body.

"The end is near", the voice had warned.
They came to get me.
----------But I sat still.

All along, I was alone. Was alone.
Senseless notions have been raised,
The talks that assasinate the innocent,
The unprepared vagabond walking through.
----------But I sat still.

Every move I make is crucial.
One mistake can be fatal.

They thought I didn't know --- of the lies,
The betrayment --- they sold me out,
They have gambled at one painstakingly price ---
At the cost of my freedom.
The very thing that was left of me.
They stole.They crushed. And they have won.
----------But I sat still.

The truce has been casted, but good and evil
Split still.
Man has to choose only one.
And I have got
No choice. No choice.
----------But I sat still.

They were calling my name out ---
Faces I can't comprehend,
Voices I can't apprehend.
They all want me. No one but me.
----------But I sat still.

The war is ablaze.
People are getting hurt,
No one wants to yield.
The pact has been sealed.
There's blood everywhere.
----------But I sat still.

Lives have been rendered,
Still no one has surrendered.

They all want me.
For I,
I hold the power.
The power to alter
This life's course.
The power to make a change.
The power to turn it all back. ..
--------But I, I chose to sat still.
