Everything you see, hear, and feel being done to you—
is the answer to your own prayers and beliefs.
No one in history has ever climbed Toompea*
to become a giver and a servant.
Only rulers have been desired there—
choosing weapons freely, killing others in their way.
This is a mindset born from the fear of being a loser.
And so, only merciless grabbing continues,
a race for power enforced by fear, violence, and lies.
I ask you, people—
grant yourselves mercy, even for a brief moment each day,
and try to forgive these pitiful ones.
Be noble and proud that you “live worse” than they do—
unable to amass the lead that will one day drag them down.
They can do nothing to you
except what you desperately fear yourself.
The condemned shall rise again.
The condemners will “live on”—
unaware how every shamefully stolen cent
cheapens their souls, until they rot.
Please hear—amidst the noise—
what those who have fallen silent wish to say.
Don’t let the media and the palace lapdogs
vaccinate you against your remaining sanity!
Estonia is not a territory to be sliced
by a mafia’s blunt knife and shared behind closed doors.
You were born on this Earth.
On this planet.
By divine birthright—
not by someone’s permission to be submissive and servile.
Here, on this Earth—anywhere—
everyone who waves at you with a smile
is your fellow countryman.
