TODAY -
Broken
Ronid Chingangbam *
This heart was broken
and i called myself Manipur
i even told my friends "they are manipur
if they have love letters in their pockets
there will be love
if they have guns and bullets
there will be blood shed"
But today, Russel,
My heart is more than,
what i believed it was, broken
I take my words back
I can never be Manipur
The city rains
They dance with their naked chest
but my tear runs deeper today
as I cry for myself
