An anticipated dream
Manoj Pukhrambam *
I see a dream
Where all the fellows of my 7 clans unite;
To build a better world for our siblings
And have the light of wisdom always ignite.
I see a Hope
That we are all standing as one;
To repair the misdeed of "Meidingu Pamheiba"
And make the current sufferings bygone.
I see a world;
A world in which all moments we cherish;
Holding hand to hand as we march
Making the memories of those 7 years perish.
I see a shadow;
A shadow that hails from the West,
Under which for more than 64 years
We have been lingering like an unloved guest.
I see a door;
The door that opens towards East.
And to make our future generations prosper
We need to scatter the present in the mist.
I see a time;
A time that we all have always sought.
And to stand united for it once again,
Here we all now take an oath .
