-Saurav Pantha
Yes...
she bleeds until her veins are emptied
she cries until her glands shrink
not a bit of anything she ever asked for,
neither ever will she
from the pitiful morning
to the hasty days
ending to the sleepless nights
With the sorrow she lives
and the sorrow she beholds
and the tears she flows
scrabbling for what she is,
wondering where she actually belongs
you can never see her sleighing
you can never hear her scream
neither you ever cared!
She lives for the children
she sowed and harvested
Instead the plant turned venomous,
turned their back on her
still she believes in righteous indignation,
in the innocence of her soul,
the justice her children owe her
yes, she believes....
If it ends her blood's fight
If it ends her spirit's fright
if she could sleep in her poignant nights
I would give her wings
from bedlam to peace
she could fly
slowly holding her head to my arms
I sing my nation a lullaby
she bleeds until her veins are emptied
she cries until her glands shrink
not a bit of anything she ever asked for,
neither ever will she
from the pitiful morning
to the hasty days
ending to the sleepless nights
With the sorrow she lives
and the sorrow she beholds
and the tears she flows
scrabbling for what she is,
wondering where she actually belongs
you can never see her sleighing
you can never hear her scream
neither you ever cared!
She lives for the children
she sowed and harvested
Instead the plant turned venomous,
turned their back on her
still she believes in righteous indignation,
in the innocence of her soul,
the justice her children owe her
yes, she believes....
If it ends her blood's fight
If it ends her spirit's fright
if she could sleep in her poignant nights
I would give her wings
from bedlam to peace
she could fly
slowly holding her head to my arms
I sing my nation a lullaby
