For the Persecuted

I saw the road .
No footprints marred its dust

I took the road 
That nobody travelled 

I saw 
what nobody saw 

And came back
broken , angry and raw 

But that is 
what happens when you 
set out for me 

Sometimes 
The road is hard and long 
When the borders of right 
Get tainted with wrong 

But the road has its master 
And so too have i 
So i kept on travelling 
Without stopping 
To cry
