for Camilo Mejia
I refuse to be used as a tool
of war, to kill on order,
to give my life for a lie.
I refuse to be indoctrinated
or subordinated, to allow the military
to define all I can be.
I refuse to abdicate my responsibilities
as a citizen of the world.
I refuse to deny the human rights
of any person.
I refuse to suspend my conscience.
I refuse to give up my humanity.
I refuse to be silenced.
Do you hear me?
