AFSPA

 In the land of the mighty heroes of valour

That rivaled the bravest warriors of Greece

They came and renounced everything we favour

Protection they promised, protection they seized.


Mum was our voices we relentlessly wailed

Maimed was our spirits we clung on 

In broad daylight, darkness prevailed 

In panic, hope was never gone.


Our protests washed up upon the tides

Like the carcasses of lifeless bodies

Disappeared eerily in countless nights 

In that bloody tide that was our identity.


Women deflowered and children orphaned,

Unscathed was only the spirit that never lowered

And corpses piled up as high as our mountains 

But we never cowered like cowards.
