Chennai flood that took 300 lives!
and just like that we have
packed our bags
cleared up the house
thrown out the rags
walking away at a speed
so fast that we
wish we could undo
wish we could flee
the damage is huge but
this is home
that we built but now
on streets we roam
tears make up the flood
in roads that are dry
no solace in relief when
our only roof is the sky
washed away are homes
and all our lives
washed away is the makeup
that you hide behind
now that it is bare let's
fight an equal war
you've swindled lives
what more do you ask for?
leave us our dignity, even
when you eat our lives
you can feed on our money
but you still won't survive!
