Of what use

-
Of what use is knowledge,
If you have to submit your curiosity for it;
Of what use is the acme, the peak,
If you can't be yourself on it...

Of what use is respect from others,
If you have to surrender self-respect for it;
Of what use is not violating yourself,
When you violate everybody else for it...

Of what use is victory,
If you have to lose everything for it;
Of what what use is freedom,
If you have to surrender your soul for it...

Of what use is that heaven you seek, my friend,
If you have to surrender your life for it...
