The enemy who entered lightly…
The enemy who entered lightly…
The grass rose in battle formation against every step taken…
The flower also burned like a fire trap…
In those moments, in our fields
The human half rose again, despite the flower that sheds gold
The weapon carried, and the banner raised did not fall
but gave a brave shoulder…
The enemy’s target was not only the system of racism…
It was sexual violence…
The enemy who entered with rusty memories
did not become flags to be held….
Not flowers to be plucked and crushed….
You established the identity of the female tigers who resisted…
You made the death life proudly…
You are the heroes who have decided to live
a respectable life in death!
