I am here now
Amidst the ashes;
Away from the world’s mystification.
Do not weep for me now
Remember my sacrifices;
My love, my life for the nation.
Don’t pretend you can’t feel my heart
Pounding through my shirt.
Don’t pretend like you don’t know that
I tremble every time you’re near me.
They reckon they’ve won now
They laugh, they celebrate-
Sad! they do not grasp the ramification.
Mother have lost her child now
Holding a grave ache in her heart.
And me- a fallen father for my girl and son!
Will I be avenged now!
Or end up like a long lost memory
Of honor and love for my country?
Will I be avenged!
Or end up as a tool in the game of politics
Between vultures clutching on the opportunity?
A home full of misery is better than
a lifetime of pretend.
A step forward in the right direction
is better than a million steps
in the wrong direction of revenge avenge.
A broken heart is better than
a lifetime with the erroneous prediction.
I’d wait a thousand more years
than to live a lifetime absurdity raving protest to protest
if there is something “better in the Homeland”
