The Sacrifice

By Samyasathi Mukherjee

Stay awake, oh friend

with your lantern

the massacre has stopped.

Look through the window

the blood shrouded ground,

lay there corpses of

innocent children and mothers,

and bullet pierced heart of lovers.

It is the result when mercy sinks in heart of stone.

Stay awake oh friend

with your lantern,

though the massacre has stopped,

but not the storm.

This blood mixed soil,

has abundant fuel,

to ignite a million martyr,

who will fight for freedom,

fight for justice,

the kind, the lover.

To melt the berg of imperialist ice,

it was a sacrifice.
