The Nation

When a Nation kills itself;

Strangles its children;

And refuses to grow,

When a nation denies its past;

Kills it future;

And refuses to live,

When a nation embraces the ill;

Kills its children;

And maims the dead,

When the dead speak;

Silence calls;

When the distance-Yells!

Then-will see the nation;

When it embraces its past;

Rises from its- knees;

Begging to –live,

Will it walk?

Will it run?

Will it die?

We never know?

Just -wait,

Watch - laugh

Hope;

Smile and Cry?
