A humble tribute to the spirit that drives all those Indians who protest against injustice every single day
Courage
Reclaiming soul splendour,
Scaring fear away,
Hurting pain.
Unarmed mad men
Beginning after the end.
Crazed women
Diving for a drop of truth
Into falsehood’s ruthless ocean.
Choosing a million lives
On a single day,
Over
A million deaths
On ten thousand nights.
- From ‘A Poet’s Promise’ by Dr Rositta Joseph, Black Eagle Books, USA, 2025
