Those who were gods in the origin land
When you do not come
and join
We wandered around
freely
We strolled without
being bound by any rules
Any traffic signal
Nowhere did it stop us
There is no price for
our land
We were where we wanted
to be
There were animals in
the unwanted place
No one was growing nuts
and the trees were full
The birds flew over our
skies
You came one by one
You first called our
place the town
Then you said the city
Talking price for every
inch of land
Occupying the whole of
our land
You pushed us to the
side of the road
The right we do not
have on our land
You declare that you
have got all rights
When you took our
origin lands
Our dog that goes
sideway is being beaten to death
Your vehicle coming in
drunk
Climbs and goes on top of
us
Squirrel cubs without
understanding the details
Dry on your power cords
In front of the
ultra-modern restaurants you have built
Our children are
carrying a begging plate
You say all have to be
educated to live civilized
Thinking of our
ancestors who died uncivilized
We cry like a
torrential downpour
Arrest us homeless one
day
You are imprisoned like
a house
When the house is happy
to have found
You are beaten and
chased out of jail
On our land which you
have plundered
You are enforcing the
laws for yourself
We hold our lives in
our hands
Obey before your law
We agree to live like
slaves
Showing your top
concern
You are sending some of
you as servants
We worship them as
Savior
Forgetting that we were
gods in the land of origin
