The Iron Lady
Boboi Pukhrambam *
Arm Forces Special Powers Act
Is what she wants to be repealed.
Just four days were sufficient
And her mouth was sealed.
Gandhi's "Non-violence" movement
Is what the Country speaks about.
But, when she raised the same,
She was taken away from the Crowd.
'Malom Massacre' was the incident
In which many innocent lives were killed.
The bullets of the military forces
Made all their fleshes peeled.
'Manorama' incident was the case
Which we all, in our heart, still feel;
For she was the Lady upon which
The Assam Rifles showed their zeal.
Human Rights violated,
Innocent lives were killed;
To safeguard our generations
The Act need to be repealed.
More than 55 years of the Act
Could not make the Guns concrete.
13 years is the IRON LADY's fast
Which even Anna Hazare can't compete.
