Give back

Give back my right

Give back my land

Give back my pride

Give back my soul

Give back my values

I wish to live with freedom

I wish to live with peace

I wish to live with equality

Even for one day here

I live in this soulless state

Where passion is seen during cricket

Or during a war

Where everyone is corrupted in mind

I live in this lawless state

Where anyone can kill at will!

Highway

A deserted Highway

Abandoned cars and trucks

Badly burnt

At middle of nowhere

No trace of survivors

No trace of hooligans

A story unfolded

In fields nearby

Scattered feminine attires

 And inner wears

Villagers nearby

Revealed the horror

The loot and the battering

Abductions and rapes

Desperate run to save lives

Refuge and silence

Longest wait for the dawn

Of freedom

In the jail of night

As lust and greed

Hid behind the thuggery

To chase down innocence

And erase the evidence

Journeys of joy

Turned out as nightmares

Home remained so far away

Scars of night accompanied

The escape journey

Justice remained beyond reach

As defenders of law remained

Inaccessible
