*SOTYOVAAN (Phonetic Spelling )
Oh, my Divine !
am not before you with a begging bowl
nor will you find me kneeling down
though destined to live only another year
to live -- my young life ; then die .
With that even little time left
shall build up my heavenly steps
and fulfill my remaining obligations.
The Demonic world shall have no domination
over me and spoil my soul
This very limited remaining life
and then assured demise
is not my DEATH
but your own defeat within me.
