By Princessa Aurora

In the noise of the city,
a life was silenced—
not by choice,
but by chaos that should protect,
not destroy.

Affan—
a son,
a brother,
a dreamer.
He carried family hopes
on his back like a green jacket,
driving for love,
for school books,
for a roof that never came.

Now the streets echo:
What is justice
if grief is the only answer?
What is democracy
if the weak are drowned by the powerful?

We cannot bring Affan back,
but we can carry his dream forward—
to build a nation
where lives are valued,
dignity is not a luxury,
and no family is left in shadows.

Let kindness be louder than chaos,
empathy stronger than indifference.
For Affan,
for every name we may never know,
for a democracy that is human first.
