The last gaze that makes the heart of millions weep

What Crime the tender soul has committed ?
For which she has been butchered
The innocence in her face
Her deep powerful gaze
Looking at a far away distance - her home
A gaze earnestly pleading for rescuing her
From the clutches of Indomitable spirit
Having lost all her hopes
She delivered a last heart touching gaze
Which speaks volumes of her desperation.

Oh, Autocratic leader !
Omnipotent, a feeling of thee
What prevents thee from using thy mighty power ?
A heart that feels,
A mind that thinks rationally,
Justice to the innocent soul,
Justice to the conscience,
Timely action for her rescue,
Is what is expected from thee.
However, destiny has another story to tell...

Oh, Ruthless souls !
Late at night,
When the world's asleep
And Mother Nature in tranquil slumber
Just lie down on your bed,
Recall the gruesome butchering.
Ask yourself one simple question !
The heinous crime committed by you
Motivated by hatred, lust and hostility
Are you doing justice to your conscience ?
Will the innocent harmless soul ever forgive you ?

As time rolled by,
Ethnic strife will come to an end.
The world may forget the gruesome murder
The wound in our heart will heal with a scar
Difficult to erase from our mind.
An indelible event in the annals of history.
However,her last powerful gaze will continue to dwell in the heart of millions ...
