ii Essence-2 ii
Bloody Islands are now
Collecting bones
Of those who died
In communal violence
From dead millions
Unable to find out trademark
Cast colour and religion
Simply baffled
In the dark corridors of time
Numbed and cold in fears
Smashed ego and killed hatred
Undressed mind to feel
Ah! No difference
Between Allah Christ and Krishna
Only dead, dead, dead
Soil of bones
Heaps of skeletons
No warmth of love
A journey of massacre
Only a painful scar
In the history of humanity so far
