Forgiveness
Yashima *
Death is a sure promise,
Even if we don't kill one another,
We are sure to die one day.
Smiled together yesterday,
Who knows you will be crying at his funeral the next day.
Anger doesn't bring anything but chaos and regret,
There's none a greater virtue than forgiveness,
Why have we turned blind!
The cries and the screams, are you able to hear?
The sons who died in a supposed,
The mother who waits,
The girl who cries "father, father, come back!"
"Baba hllk o"
The bride who only has a photograph for a husband,
The war will get over but orphans , widows and heartbreak won't cease.
Mother Manipur won't forgive us.
