Behold. The darkness
Smile in pain
As today our motherland
Dies again.
Shot brutally
By a mob of ten
Stabbed painfully
By neighboring men
Not a road is safe
For people to walk
Not a train is sound
‘they’ maybe in the flock
Where to hide
Where to mask
What is my fault?
The innocent asks
In his house itself
The innocent bleeds
In his house itself
The family pleads
At the site of crime
The police sleeps
At two in the night
The family weeps
One more dead
No one cares
Ten thousand bombed
They just stop and stare
A mother screams,
As she loses her son
the father quietens
holding the ashes of the only one
hundreds die
unseen and unknown
government defies
and speaks its own
Is there an end
To this ruthless killing
Can any one help
The beans are spilling
Wake up people
Raise your voice
Mumbai, jaipur, delhi
There is no other choice
Enough of bleeding
Enough of violence
Lets speak out
And break the silence
mothers, dry up your tears
fathers, muster courage
wounded, stand upright
let them face our fuming rage
Lets make an effort
Lets take a step
United we hold hands
United we march ahead
The police will stop
And the government will freeze
Our steps to life
And to peace
But we have to fight
For our motherland
Let no burials dig
In our sacred sand
Let every child speak jai hind
And unleash the youth’s might
Then we would seem as a whirlwind
Blowing hard to give terror a fatal flight!
