Gone are those, who could have brought change
Gone are those, who could have brought change
Murdered. Killed.
Bombed. Shelled.
61 Women, of no danger,
who lost all,
but, felt at home.
61 Sisters who would have brought change
Dreams, memories,
aspirations and goals
all gone.
Thanks to a Kfir.
Makes me cringe.
61 unarmed, innocent,
young women who have no kin
who could have brought change.
Targeted. Left for dead
for being Thamil.
This just one day in 2006.
Just an image of the 65+ years.
Sutharsini (17)
Niranjini (18)
Nanthini (18)
Yasothini (18)
Karthikayini (18)
Just to name a few.
Sisters. Who would have brought change.
One day it will happen.
One day we will see justice because,
For every seed planted 10 more will sprout.
Sprouts who will carry on these names
Sisters and brothers that will
Bring Change.
I will remember the #SencholaiMassacre
