Be Prepared
Sanjenbam Bhanumati Devi *
Because of the head
We proceed in the right direction
We know what is beauty and grim.
Because of the head
Attain lofty point of civilization
Differentiate between the good and the bad.
Because of the head
New ideas are invented
And marched ahead towards beauty.
Out of the legacies of the heads
We are using bit by bit
And preserving our honour.
To-day, having no heads
We can't differentiate good from bad
Can't see the truth and the beauty.
Now, be prepared to face
Those headless thousands and thousands
To fight a final bout.
Be prepared.
(Translated from the Manipuri poem "Shem Saaro" from "Aroiba Waahang" by LD Singh)
