Those who were gods in the origin land

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
