New Planet
Lenin Khumancha *
The dead are coming hand in hand
from the dreamland
and protest on just reaching the surface
"As we have come back again
the living ones, go instead
to the kingdom of the dead."
Those living unwilling to die
Start killing the dead.
The dead laughs heartily,
oblivious of food and drinks
the dead are tired and pale
fighting out a war with the dead
and can fight no more.
The dead are victorious
the victory-flag gets unfurled.
On this planet
now, lives not a single soul
except the dead.
(Translated from Lenin Khumancha's Manipuri poem Anouba Graha by Dr Moirangthem Priyobrata Singh)
