Why has death taken You?
You who so selflessly laid his life to free the peasants from the bondage of the soil.
You who carried the burden of life so that other may someday, somehow, live in demcoracy.
You who cried so that others may laugh.
You who weathered the storm so that the winds will not sweep out the people.
You whose smile could sink a nation but used it instead to try to free it.
Why? You?
