【What Would I Die For?】
By Tian Yu Zhi
I am a civilian, not a soldier
What would I die For?
I would not die for any land or sky
Mountain or sea, they belong to God
They were there before me, and
They will be there after me
I would not die for wealth or possession
It doesn’t take much for me to live and be happy
Why desire so much, for a short hundred years
A handful of dust, after all
I would not die for someone else’s ambition
To unite, divide, annex, just for another’s dream
To leave a mark in the history book
Blood and flesh, ideology and doctrine
All perish, in the smoke and fire of war
But, Heaven forbid, I would die for my children
My family members, my true love
I would die for my friends, and the bullied
I would die for the freedom of my soul
I become a soldier, the day
When they try to take them away from me

* Pray for all those civilian turned soldiers in Ukraine
