Still Shine the Arrows of Birsha

A poem written on great memory.

STILL SHINE THE ARROWS OF BIRSA

Still shine the arrows of Birsa

Inside the jungle

Which were used

For Swaraj, Liberty, Freedom…

Still breathes the air

Of hope 

And war

Which He spread over centuries before,

The man

Of humans He was,

He was the leader

Of Chottanagpur…

The religion

Of religions He was,

And the God

Of thousand gods,

The definition 

Of real Hero He was,

Yes, He was the sharpest arrow,

And yet He is…

Still He is bright in the Jungle

For us, to fight against the Eclipses…

Yes, still shine the arrows of Birsa 

Which today’s society must throw…
