The cry of the victims
They seem to nurture us like precious gold but later cut us down like thorns in the midst of roses.
They say we are princes and princesses of the future but we work as if we are slaves of the past.
Then how well are their wishes for us?
Oh! What will become of us in the nearest future?
Nothing but destruction and misery.
Strange people from far and near, strange people both dark and fair
Come into our homes and take our source of strength.
Stroked and beaten, with great pain she does jobs that are forbidden
Stroked beaten and smitten in shame, she cries out with the voice of sorrowful song.
She cries for help but no one seems to come to her rescue
Oh! What will become of us in the nearest future?
Nothing but destruction and misery.
If then their well wishes are made so well
If then everyone is treated like roses and not like thorns
If then our mothers the sources of our strength are
Treated like precious gold that they are
If then our cry are being heard and people came to our rescue
What then do you think will become of us in the future?
