Broken Promises and a Tribute

In erstwhile Manipur’s Jiribam district
Meitei militants, with hearts of stone
Burned alive a woman in endless night
A life cut short, her body charred to death.

Zosangkim Hmar's fate was sealed
Leaving behind three young children
Left to grieve and cry, ask the sky
A victim of violence, her life revealed

In this district, where hopes once rose
A solemn oaths was proposed moderated by officials,
With peace to reveal, the agreement null,
As bloodshed flows now

In death's dark shadow, the pact lies torn
A failed promise, where peace was born
The words that once brought hope and cheer
Now echo hollow, through sorrow and fear

We remember you, Zosangkim dear
May your sacrifice ignite a resolve to defend,
Our lives, land, and right.
Guiding our struggle, for freedom's score.
