No One Was Alive

No One was Alive By : Neelamani Sutar When they arrived on our Valley They arrested some young men Killed them mercilessly on broad day light I spoke nothing, kept mum, Coz’ they were not of my race. Again they came, tortured people of a definite creed I saw everything, kept silence Coz’ I was not a member of their creed. One day they rushed into the colony Caught some priests, bathed in their blood I acted as if I were an alien ! It was a dreadful night when they attacked And destroyed a base camp beside our valley I watched their human slaughter But behaved like a statue. When they ruined a definite religion brutally I was also silent Coz’ I did not belong that religion. One day they entered into our colony Killed humanity mercilessly I was unanswered on that very day Coz’ I was not a strong supporter of humanity. And when they arrived in my home Caught me, Chopped off my head There was no one alive in this world to utter a word for me to save me !
