You Are Destroying Us Poem by Gajanan Mishra

You are destroying
Our language, our culture,
Our land, our people,
And yet we are helpless.
You are destroying us,
You are destroying
Our knowledge, our heart,
Our family our kith and kins,
Yet we are helpless
And we are going with you.
You are destroying us
By providing wine, women,
Rice in one rupee,
Meals in five rupees.
You are destroying us
By killing our time
Not for the land
But for your self-interest.
You are the demon
Of this land,
You are destroying
Our identity our realization.
We are the sons and daughters
Of this land, this language,
But you are putting pressure
To use foreign language,
You are creating scope to
Go far away for filling
Our belly.
Are you not the enemy
Of our land and language,
Landholders?
Who you are my dear,
And when you are going from us
For the sake of love of land,
Love of the truth,
That we are independent and
We are sovereign,
We are free to use our language,
We are free to frame laws,
We are free to do whatever we like here
On our own land.
Please leave us at our disposal,
Please go away from us.
Please save us from your ill motives
To destroy our culture, our future.
