Chapter 42 "I Write Songs"

(India) Anrita Politan Search for your threshold in the seventh heaven. Hemmed in by walls and walls and distances and has no right to say: Life is the reason to live.I write songs that hide a sad secret in a lifelong longing. Maybe one day I will be able to speak in words and may my voice speak for millions. Let their secrets lie in my sad secrets. My love is not satisfied.Just let it be. As such, it might get my message across. O my song!Pay the debt for my love. Let every line of yours speak for all. O flame of my love!Light up the dark night, O poetry of my blood!Change the laws of violence.

Don't let a person's honor and love be bought and sold. Don't let war haunt farmers. Don't let the growing youth be trampled on. Let no fire burn the earth and the sky. Let no one poison the milky grain. Leave one alone to retell the story of the massacre. Don't let "beauty" be auctioned in the market. Grief challenges my pen.I write songs so that future generations will not have to write sad poems.
