Words written from the talking woods

When buried in deprived identity, the tribe’s lost,

They all alone outgrow their outcast border dots,

And voiced deaf State with their bugloss’s souls,

And holds upon themselves, and strengthen their fates,

Advancing to make a move of once own; rises,

Equipped like them, like the State with processions,

Hearts on their arts and the eyes of a man’s vision,

With a dream of open eyes, unfiltered bridges,

Despising gazes never stopped their feet’s,

Determined thee faith has to bow

The larking dips the steaming blood, breaking the glasses of unseen

From forgotten hills, howls the Jhar’s at parliament’s gate;

From thy forgotten voters, as the nectar of votes has been extracted

That’s when Ulgulan is born to change their state with the State’s.
