Cannot

A light not ruled by darkness cannot be snuffed.

A voice not washed by sound waves cannot be drowned.

A heart not pumped by systems cannot stop beating.

A mind that thrives when folded cannot cease thought.

...

Truth unmarried to humans cannot be veiled.

Fire that lights when stifled cannot be choked.

Words we’ve writ on history can’t be deleted.

Life lived for a stranger’s can ne’er feel lost.
