Where were you when they turned hope into despair,
When they snatched our breads from our children's mouths,
When they barricaded our lanes and bylanes with fear and hatred?
Where were you when darkness and winter were parachuted into our lives,
When black orchids were placed on the graves of our martyrs,
When they defiled our faith and sanctum sanctorum?
Where were you when they changed the colour of my beloved city?
When they snatched our breads from our children's mouths,
When they barricaded our lanes and bylanes with fear and hatred?
Where were you when darkness and winter were parachuted into our lives,
When black orchids were placed on the graves of our martyrs,
When they defiled our faith and sanctum sanctorum?
Where were you when they changed the colour of my beloved city?
