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 !
