Law of Down- A tribute to Eche Sharmila

Law of Down

Disclaimer: The word “Revision” in the second line in no way means revision of AFSPA ‘1958 since the readers might misunderstood that Eche is fasting for complete uprooting of the law and not just a revision. But here I mean to have another look at the law which defies all human rights.

My Sister had a vision,

To ask for a revision.

Of a draconian law of caution,

Which in Manipur,

Has become the essential laws of motion.

 Like Heisenberg’s principle of uncertainty,

Times flies but no hopes of security,

Of lives without surety,

And smiles that come with no warranty.

But like E=mc²,

Eche= Manipur x Courage².

Giving hope to the hopeless square,

Twelve years of fasting and still going strong,

Now makes the world wonder,

Where has it gone wrong?

Like Darwin’s theory of evolution,

We have reached this far in this revolution.

The roads full of friction,

And the rulers full of contamination.

BUT

Like the ultimate realization of Higgs Boson particle,

You will shine like the God particle.

And bring alive the 21^st article.

A thought always lurked my mind,

Which my bro Rocky had signed,

No longer proud to be an Indian.

I say,

No longer wants to be an Indian.

A tribute to Eche Sharmila-The Iron Lady.

Will you be our Valentine?

This Poem " Will you be our Valentine?" is dedicated to our Eche Sharmila from the Pan Manipur Group .

Disclaimer: I took the liberty of associating only Dilkumar’s name in the poem because he was a little disappointed last time with my poem for not adding his activities in Pan relating to Eche Sharmila’s struggle so I tried to made it up to him.Otherwise it is the poem of all the Panians.

“Will You Be Our Valentine?”

Hello Sis,

Do u feel blind?

Cos no one care or no one mind,

We the Panians are here to bind,

And ask you,

Will you be our Valentine?

Hello Sis,

Do you get bored?

Answering all the journalists,

Well, Dilkumar will continue the asking,

With questions ain’t mindblowing,

All supporting and all loving.

Hello Sis,

Do you feel ignored?

To your hues and cries,

No one listening,

And the rulers snoring,

Well, Pan is here with you,

Every second, every moment.

Hello Sis,

Do you feel insecure?

In-spite of all securities around,

And all the doctors on round,

From that Room No.A4 of yours,

Look at us through your mind,

Panians shall always be thine.

Hello Sis,

Do you feel hopeless?

Even without a morsel, and nights sleepless,

With not a budge to the draconian law,

To point out the evil’s flaw.

We will take your voice to the world,

And Pan has given you its word.

Hello Sis,

Why do you cry?

When we care and we mind,

We the Panians are here to bind,

And ask you,

Will you be our Valentine?
