the hijra
thinks
about her past
once a nice
sweet boy
now an outcast
the Midas touch
of pain
how long will it last
the dye is cast
wastelands
of memories
the next forecast
devastation
destruction
a nuclear blast
says the voice
on TV
the blaring
broadcast
the hijra aghast
tears on the
soul of japan
a glaring contrast
nature in all its finery
a nation
outclassed
the destiny of man
in a single stroke
of cruelty a nation
harassed
but the resurgence
of man
always steadfast
he rises
each time he falls
the will
of man cannot
be bypassed
he stands
out there
his soul could
not be gassed
the test of survival
he has surpassed
