Live and let live
Mother! Dear mother!!
I am your fellow
Trample not on my right


You called me and I answered
Is my obedience my crime?
Why do you pursue me around
With an oath to eliminate me
No wrong have I done
I deserve not this your malice


Abort me not, let me live
I have overheard your discussion
With that wicked physician
Despite his oath to save life
He turned a destroyer


Ask him what I have done to him
That he has sharpened his knife
To cut me into pieces, slices
This is no more a joke
People are really determined and wicked


Help me to reach your world
To taste it like you
I won’t mind how bitter it may be
Struggle, strife is the sole of survival


Mother! Dear mother!!
Take me home and nurse me
I have a lot to contribute to the world
Allow me to do the work
As you were allowed to do yours
Your tomorrow saviour I might be
