Nirbhaya I Hate you
Snoring in our slumber, we were
Enchanted by the idyll of our dreams
And then you came, oh so loud the hollar
That caught us and shook us by the collar
For showing the demons of our minds,
For removing ignorance's comfortable blinds
Nirbhaya i hate you
Succeasfully we hid, the whinings with the shining
And blocked dissent's disruptive dins
Along you came then, and shook our core
All the hypocrisy within, you brought to the fore.
For showing the demons of our minds,
For removing ignorance's comfortable blinds
Nirbhaya i hate you
You brought us pain, you drove us insane
All the rosy pictures we painted,
You took and filled it
With reality's despairing disdain
For showing the demons of our minds,
For removing ignorance's comfortable blinds
Nirbhaya i hate you
No longer do the people get trampled and forget
No longer do the persecuted suffer in silence
You gave them strength to face the fight
You gave them will to face our might
Neither we saw, nor heard nor spoke against any evil
But you yanked our hands, and forced us,
To feel the heat that roasts the common man
Forgive you, we'll not, O Nirbhaya, for you
Forced us to face the monster of our making.
