There was no Connect, yet the eyes were wet
The soul cried, the words dumb and upset
Like the darkness of death, lost and haunted
Living the pain of someone close departed
Couldn’t see you, didn’t know you
But felt the pain, like stabbed in the back
You fought so bravely, rekindling the hope
And now, you are no more, gone away
Why it had to be like this?
How could we fail you?
Why do we fail us again and again?
Aren’t we all the culprits?
How could we ignore you, lying on that roadside for so long?
Are we still the brothers, the fathers, who pledged to
protect you?
How could we be so inert to play politics when you were
slipping away?
Aren’t we all to share the blame, to let you writhe in the
pain?
A life it was that we even didn’t know, but
Could say, was young and jovial,
Dreaming and aspiring, for,
Your fighting spirit conquers whole, permeates all
How could it be the moment when it was denied to you?
How could we breathe, when you were going away?
Why couldn’t we hear your silent shrieks?
There was no Connect but we feel you’re no more
Didn’t know you but,
Feel like a person in us died somewhere today
You’re no more but the fire rages
Could it be the call to kill the slumber of the ages?
