A Mom's Call


Once upon a time

I was a free river!

Starting from a hill,

Ending in an ocean!


Like a mother to her kids,

I nurtured people around!

I helped them to eat,

I gave them water to drink!


They wanted more from me,

They tied me inside a wall!

I did not complaint,

I stood silent and still!


Two lands fought for me,

Both say they own me!

I could see cracks on my walls,

They never cared that too!


I’m scared of my power,

People can’t bear my force!

I’ve to sweep lakhs of lives,

I’ll wash of many lands!


As a mom, I can’t kill you,

I hate to harm my children!

Make a new wall around me,

Else give my old life back!
