Lets Get Up And Stand Together. Poem by M. Asim Nehal

Mute watchers, standing by
as innocent lives are taken away
by the might and powerful,
Who hold all the sway?

These so called protectors,
of human rights and freedom,
become so numb and turn a deaf ear
when the oppressed cry out,

Why they remain silent and mute spectators,
when the flames of injustice rise.
Are they not those fire-fighters,
who Ignite the spark more lies!

Why they preach about equality,
and say that they value every life.
While when it comes to action,
they simply hide, in strife.

Their claim to serve and protect,
Subsides when the time comes to act,
And they stand aside and do nothing,
leaving the innocent to be attacked.

You the mute watchers,
who gave you this power?
Who put the silencer on your mouth,
why you behave like a coward?

Lets get up and stand together,
to fight for what is right,
For we are not just mute watchers,
but warriors, ready to unite.
