I have been to this world but a very short time. Grant me courage to boldly say what I think against unnatural and unreasonable leaders. Until I die, what's mine is freedom to say. For having a simple opinion, give me no nation, or even no 6-foot by 4-foot space on this planet. Grant me courage to my last breath to be unyielding with my convictions.
