AFSPA asked

Aren’t you writing anything?
How do we write

when deprived of all emotions

when struck by barbarity of great magnitude

~

Evil, they say provokes you

I, a mother, refuses to give in to it

No dirge or chant

lest curses may run from thy lips

~

My silence is all I give

that I may harness my anger

to speak healing to our land

Ura uvie! Ura uvie!

~

Yes, victory to our land

Even if they try to wipe our lives and memory

May the world know

that the Nagas held their dignity

that all may live
