I am going
And to this way I'm tending,
I will not look back
To witness the calamities that stark.
The bond of consanguinity
Will pacify your sympathy.
I am going
To where birds are perching,
To a land so outlandish.
And my words and my speech
Shall indeed testify,
Shall indeed amplify
And shall be my vestige,
Though, I have been without prestige.
Do not look for me,
Not my shadow shall you see
Because I am going
To where insects are chirping.
