Requiem to Manta
Goodbye Manta, I wish to say with respect,
but I will not;
I would only deceive the world and myself,
if you depart.
Goodbye Manta, I wish to say to others too,
but I will not;
for you do not deserve this dreadful fate -
a bloody bath.
Goodbye Manta, I wish the world to go on,
but I will not;
the chain of all creatures on earth must stay,
and we are a part. ~
