For the killing of her naked children
Mother demands apology
The destruction and starvation of her posterity
The slavery in 1562
She demands apology
The hardship metted out on her children
The carnage committed by them
For the desolation, desecration, mutilation on her land
Defaulting of her principles
Mother demands apology
The deflowering and rape of properties
Stealing and selling of possession
All belonging to her
She demands apology
On the confrontation of her tradition
Blasphemy, inculcation of disunity and discrimination
Exploitation, dethronement, sacrilege, calumny
Mother demands apology
The wounds fresh on her body
Her body bleeding for the bully
Her cry flowing like a river
The river forming and expanding
Waiting for a day of explosion
Now! Mother is on a mission
The mission a retaliation
The retaliation a destruction
Destruction for desecration
Desecration of her tradition
I saw the revelation
The revelation like a vision
Vision with provision
Provision a signification
Signification of restoration
Restoration of her trampled dignity
Dignity her identity
Identity, conformity to her integrity
Apology! Apology! Apology!
Mother demands apology.
