Voice of Thar (POEM)

VOICE OF THAR  *Dedicated to Thar People

Can you hear my thirst?

I am the Voice of Thar!

I do not have water

I do not have wheat

I do not eat meat

I cannot even speak

      As my throat is so dry

I cannot even work

     As my stomach is so weak

I cannot even sleep

    As my children are hungry

I cannot even cry

     As my Thar is dry!!!

I call upon your conscience

To donate to me

I call upon your emotions

To speak to me

I will tell you about

The voice of Thar ….

The summers are here

My eyes have fear

I hope you can hear

To wipe out my tears

I call upon the government

To do my consensus

I call upon the legislators

To make bills for me
I call upon the NGOs
To send trucks to me

I call upon the citizens

To make rations for me!!!

I hope you can hear

My cries in tears ….

I call upon your conscience 

To donate to me!!!

I am the Voice of Thar

I am the Voice of Death

I call upon your emotions

To bring life to me !!!!

I call upon your conscience

To donate to me !!!

I call upon your thirst ...
To make water filter plant for me !!!!
