OBEDIENT LAMBS


We are lambs walking and
grazing in droves
guided by a shepherd
who is following us
and guides us
in proper directions.
He is our leader
and his leadership
gives us a sense of
security, satisfaction
and happiness.
We are lambs
always in the forefront
who are marching in unison
at the instance of our leader
to take on
the establishment
which exploits us since
centuries
we are led by our leader
from behind.
With courage and conviction
with the proud thought of
a fearless leader
who is guiding us from
behind
and because of his
able guidance and support
we march forward
confidently, take on
the khaki clad men
who are entrusted with
maintaining the law and order situation
we jump over the barricades
raise slogans demanding
an end to the centuries old exploitation
by the powerful establishment
in the process
we are lathi-charged
tear-gassed and even
fired upon
resulting in our comrades
falling dead and getting injured
but our courage and
conviction do not ebb
as we are being
instigated by our
able leader
who instill in us
the energy, courage and determination
who guides us from behind.
Our leader
comes to the front
and we walk in droves
behind him.
Our leader
in remembrance
of our martyrs who fell to
the bullets
in order to build a memorial for
our martyrs
he pleads for donations from 
those who are sympathetic
towards our cause
collects the donations
and with the lumpsum
amount
disappears from
our vicinity
leaving us somewhere.
