She Won'T Stoop
Rose from her dreams
Flourished against centuries of inaction
Broke the spell of inactivity and
Showed the confident strength of maturity.
The cultural, the mature world
Crossed the eternal ocean of pain
But that disaster couldn’t stop her there
And she sparkled, with Asia flaunting this asset.
Engineering, Medical, Fashion and Food
She raided the market and you know.
That small little island vulnerably placed
Glowed like a diamond amidst coal.
No man could stop nor hinder her steps
With her head held high and flowered bosom
She danced in red amidst white,
Like the glowing red sun in a snow white sky.
Today its 11th March, I can see her robbed
It wasn’t a man or an animal.
This was the dreadful anger of almighty
Jealous of her beauty and insanity.
He ruined her jewels and
Lashed her body.
And now we see her coughing blood
Criminals or innocent he spared no one.
Yes she’s wailing and bleeding
Not only he but her children too
Managed to crush the blossom and bloom.
Yet I know she won’t stoop
Be it soul or body
She’ll fight and raise back again
Because I know she won’t stop.
