Gesneuvelde Vechter

Dutch for "fallen fighter"

They say that 

It was too late 

For them; 

It was too soon 

For me.  

Angels and demons 

On both my shoulders. 

It's not about what's right, 

Or rather what's wrong; 

It's about what's left. 

Footprints and legacies. 

Marks and memories. 

They say that 

I’m a freedom fighter 

But the hypocrisy of democracy….   

They say that I’m Bruce Lee 

Spinning kicks like 

I spin sticks 

Break bricks with those wrist flicks. 

Top tumble 

To bottom strike;  

I remain humble 

Counting my losses; 

Punches thrown like 

Words on the daily, 

Mind rumble; 

Like a busy day 

With the bosses. 

Dream believers, 

Society deceivers. 

World changers, 

Evil’s dangers. 

Life redeemers, 

Broken bones, 

Conditioned femurs. 

 

Fallen fighter, 

Fallen dreams.
