Oh Waithou Phunal Maring !
K. Modar Maring *
I was born there without knowing the surroundings,
I was grown up with hopes and courage from the people there.
I thought I will become a great man and serve for the people,
I always respect my seniors and did all what I ought to do.
They always pleased with me for my good deeds,
They took my name as an example for the juniors.
They praised me in my sincerity and manner,
They smiled for my better academic records.
Now after almost 3 decades gone, I grasp a job in my hand,
Murmurs came, whose money he paid for the job, without knowing how?
Questions everywhere, whose, where, how, when, whom???
A little change in the family is a wide open eye for them.
A new thing in the family is a hearth pain for them,
Happiness in the family is an annoying for them.
A peace and harmony in the family is like burning sensation for them,
As much as you do good, as much as, they always try to find a fault in you.
I only kneel down and said, "God forgive me if there is anything I have done wrong unto you,
Heal my people their mind and soul and bring peace, love, unity and harmony!
Let the cruelty and jealousy be void from this land,
Alpha and Omega, The beginning and the End, Amen!
