Baptism
You took away my wealth
I gave you my all
My house, my clothes
I didn't stall
You beat me , kicked me
Bad names you called
I just bowed my head
and no replied to all
You imprisoned me chained me
I made it my home
You took away my food and water
I fasted to bone
Every lash of pain inflicted
I turned it into another verse of song
The water is the symbol
of the world's evil sea
We are submerged in helplessness but emerge innocent and free
