"Let It Be Me" (Tribute To Col Muhammad Abu-ali And Other Fallen Gallants) by Nobody: 5:48pm On Nov 08, 2016
(An attempt at paraphrasing the Intention of the Late Col Muhammad Abu-Ali at his last briefing where he said "If anyone must die, let it be me"

"Let it be me"
If anyone must DIE.

"Let my life be the price"
For Baga to LIVE.

"Let my breath be seized"
To set the warring-booths off the shore of the bloody-SEA.

"Let my blood be the water" to rinse off
erupted cloudy dust masking the perpetrators' FACES.

"Let my blood be dropped" in exchange
For the freedom of blossoming princesses in CAPTIVES.

"Let my gun's last shot" sings your victory
Fellow compatriots, For you to caress again those darling cheeks in apprehension back HOME.

"Let my last trigger be pulled to silent other guns' WOE SONGS.
"and Let the bill be settled with my blood"
For Tabloids to spare tired teeming AUDIENCE
with the usual blood-drenshing HEADLINES.

"Let them feed on my gushing blood - perhaps, they drink ENOUGH
For our children to LIVE.

"Atone the blood-thirsters with my PAINS"
For the yearning love to sock my land AGAIN.

"Let me hold on to 95 cent of what-it-GIVES"
To take back what it TAKES.

"Let my last breath be that RANSOM"
To enable my colleagues' tireless L-shaped arms REST"
"Let me be the sacrifice to douse off the fear in the minds of their OWNS.

"THUS, prepare for me an underneath 'Twenty-two perimetric feet' HOME"
beside the laid past heroes at our ESTATE.

"Let me be stretch-wheeled back HOME
-to my loved ones-
-with that ostensible GUN-SALUTES...
While my soul is dancing down their DEVOURING THROATS "

"Get READY!
My NIGHTGOWN, EARLY
For I shall be returning to sleep FOREVER"
For our great grandchildren to sleep with minds lay in PEACE!
