When the Home is Burning

Activists went to Geneva
 Came back with sweet saliva
 Some called themselves a Rock Star
 They just sang of the Zapatista
 Rich men's wife inside the temple
 She is crying with broken bangles
 Professors teaching Derrida
 Young men wearing Che Guivera
 What is India doing to Sharmila?
 The raped and killed Manorama
 No one remembers Chitaranjan
 Everyone saw it wide open
 Fools, they shut down the schools
 Children, they used like a tool
 Me too, a son of the land
 And let me tell you
 Your institution is a lie
 There you stand for your Naga brothers
 There you pray for your Kuki brothers
 There you cry for your Meitei brothers
 What a waste
 What a waste
 And the home is burning
 And the home is burning
 And the home is burning
 And the home is burning
