Aren’t you writing anything?
How do we write
when deprived of all emotions
when struck by barbarity of great magnitude
Evil, they say provokes you
I, a mother, refuses to give in to it
No dirge or chant
lest curses may run from thy lips
My silence is all I give
that I may harness my anger
to speak healing to our land
Ura uvie! Ura uvie!
Yes, victory to our land
Even if they try to wipe our lives and memory
May the world know
that the Nagas held their dignity
that all may live
