Why are you so silent?
When your countrymen continue to scream in great pain, Behind the bars with broken bones.
Why are you so silent?
When the monasteries and nunneries are destroyed and demolished down to ashes.
Why are you so silent?
When the forests are fired and trees cut down to Timbers in great number.
Why are you so silent?
When the monks and nuns in great numbers are forcibly evicted from their institutions.
Why are you so silent?
When the singers and writers are imprisoned for speaking out the injustice imposed upon them.
Why are you so silent?
When they mined minerals out of the mountains and made a whole lot of holes in the Himalayas.
Why are you so silent?
When they installed eyes on every street pole and watched you pee and peep in deep silence.
Why are you so silent?
When the rivers and rivulet are controlled by building dams after dams.
