The rustic girl left this world and went to heaven. Her Painful memories are what remains behind. The injustice exploitation is suffocating. These conflicts within the unfortunate soil of India have taken many lives. There’s cruelty amongst mankind. There’s injustice and exploitation everywhere. People struggle for their rights. There’s a storm raging in every heart and soul. The earth shivers and wreaks havoc. The raging waves clash on the shores. This enlightens the soul. We can hear the song of a great soul at a distance. It calls out. It calls out to us, to break free from the shackles. We can hear his call. Come Forward. Break free from the shackles. Fight back for freedom. Set yourself free. We’ve sacrificed our lives for the freedom of new India.
