Akshara's Diaries

We'll continue to kill   Yes, we'll continue to break   families apart As long as our lies remain covered and hidden  Who cares about the human cost? Bomb their homes, stifle their voices They are a dime a dozen anyways  They'll scuttle away like the cockroaches they are Stamp them out- yes out of the way. We can't compromise, we cannot negociate Let their blood colour the roads red instead  While we cling on to our crowns- all that shiny treasure  The cries of children- ah music to the ears. Divide and rule, our constant mantra Humanity's dead and empathy overrated  Well someone's got to mine that gold So we blow them up, we'll kill them all.

We continue to sing the songs of our people  To rebuild the bridges once burned  We hold hands and close our eyes As we remember the lessons learned. We continue to tell the stories of our people  So that we forgive, but never forget Our past that we consciously accept  The abhorrent ways that today we reject. We continue to dance on the rhythms of our people  To fill the cracks and lonely gaps We bow down and praise the earth Littered with glorious empires now collapsed. We continue to paint the lives of our people  The good and the bad, from dusk to dawn For that is what will forever remain  After you and me are long gone.
