India's Daughter Poem by ENOCH JOHN

India's Daughter



Weep sempiternal world for India's Daughter, weep India for the daughters of the world,
For here we are faced with a scourge that has worldwide dimensions,
The stalkers, the lustful and the prurient men lay in wait for the daughters of the world,
Hence we as humanity must weep for our daughters, a melancholic wail,
Under an ochre sky here is a tragedy, here is a song and the self-flagellation begins.

So weep world for America's Daughter and weep for England's and Scotland's Daughters;
Weep for Trinidad's and Canada's Daughters, weep for Africa's Daughters,
For Russia's and China's Daughters and also for Japan's and Australia's Daughters.
O weep sad world for our daughters, weep rivers of tears all night long.
