The Last Twenty Steps Of Fire

While Tibet fights for its Independence from the Chinese Government, two teenagers, ages 17 and 19 burnt themselves as a sign of protest against the Chinese empire. They were, however not the first ones. 49 others have burnt themselves to bring about a revolution. These teenagers, on the martyrs way, took their last 20 steps and collapsed. This is a homage for them. I could not think of any better way to honour them than this. 

All for a cause

All for a fight

All that was needed was a flaming light

Two young souls

Ablaze with passion

Treading on the footsteps of the 49 knights

The fiery brave hearts

On the martyrs way

Crumbled into ashes as they knelt to pray

The last twenty steps of fire

Of hope | of rage | of war | of desire

The last twenty steps of fire

To freedom from chains | chains of the empire

Homage to the messengers of the revolution

We salute your protest against the constitution

An alter, where the sacred fire would burn

A reminder to believe that the fates could turn

Your sacrifice reflects the Pure Divine

You are our messiah, You are our Superhuman.
