36th July

You meddle. You intrude in our lives
Yes, you are encroachers of our land
Pilferers of our nation’s bounty
Telling us how to live, what to think
Valiant we are not
Just compelled by good reason
Soot faced…hardened by grief
Our eyes to the sun, we behold its flames
Fearless of the fate you impart
We are revolutionaries, with fists raised ready,
Our faith is stronger than your ploys
We defy your scheming tresses
Valor is not in our blood
But you have given birth to its spirit
You plunder for a fathomless greed
And poison our minds with tricks
You bomb our homes where we fight with swords
You crush us like ants under hefty boots
You are scumbag thieves killing innocents
Mighty in your metal boxes
But Valor will keep us alive
We will conquer the fear and triumph
We will fight for what is ours
And slay the menacing beast.
