Peace

Tell my little kids

Mama wishes them the best in life

Tell all my friends who believed in me

That I’m sorry

Tell those who stabbed me in the back

That I forgive them

My clansmen have a saying

That when travelling

Hold no grudges

Peace, I leave with you

  1. This is wonderfully. And the image reminds me of a scene in a Hindi movie – Bhahubali: when the queen was getting drowned but never gave up on the neonate- Mahindra Bhahubali.
