Strife Torn Manipur

A Poem by Pratima Nayak

Barbarity of Manipur violence
Disgrace to the human race
Fighting over ethinc identity
With a never ending intolerance
Dishonoring God's most beautiful creation
Blazing houses, slaughtering men
Turning everything to ruins
Media turns blind
Politicians remain deaf & dumb
Without giving a damn
Leaving Manipur all alone to grief
In a senseless & endless violence
Shattering one of the seven sisters
Screaming mournfully with none to hear.
