The Child is Not Innocent


The Child is Not Innocent

Scream of the mother and the maid
Towering towards the sky
And it reverberates
Through the eight corners of the world
In order to reach the guardians
Of the World Peace and Politics

The crocodile tears
Of the mother and the maid
Overflows in the Palk Strait
And drown the fleeing refugees
And drying the fishing downtrodden

The child bites the ears
And wounded the mother and the maid
Those are dead deaf to the grievances
The genuine grievances
Of the innocence
For generations
