Get Out

We don’t care what brought you here. We don’t care why you are here. We don’t need your words — We know enough about you. We were here. We’re still here now. You won’t erase our memory. Each stone remembers someone’s name. This land remembers just the same. Nothing can be erased. No one will be forgotten. What belongs to us Will never become yours. You’re here — And that is enough. As long as you’re here — We cannot be safe. We are. We were. We will be. And you — Get out! Take your henchmen with you. Get out! There are those who defend our land. It holds their names through all it withstands. Some came home. Some never will. The mark they left is with us still. This land has a voice and a time of its own. It will still be here when all of you are gone. We don’t ask for the right to what’s ours. It was ours before. It is ours now. We need no consent, no court to decide. We were here before. We will still be here. You’re here — And that is enough. As long as you’re here — We cannot be safe. We are. We were. We will be. And you — Get out! Take your henchmen with you. Get out! You leave no one in peace. Worlds stagger, their rhythms break. Somewhere, things never arrive. Somewhere, life stalls — And everywhere you go, you leave a trace. When you are gone, worlds will come alive. And silence alone will make the morning bright. It was and will be ours — you cannot take it away. It will become the morning it was meant to be. And silence won’t be a feast or a dream — Just the quiet behind everything. When you are gone, the earth will sigh. When you are gone, all will be quiet at last. You’re here — And that is enough. As long as you’re here — We cannot be safe. We are. We were. We will be. And you — Get out! Take your henchmen with you. Get out! When you are gone — The earth will sigh. When you are gone — All will be quiet at last. We are. We were. We will be. And you — Get out!
