Where there is no respect
for the might
of the pen,
there is no life
Where there is no remorse
for the slaughter
of an innocent,
there is no life
Where there is no justice
for the common man
of the land,
there is no life
Where there is no rapport
amongst the kinfolk
of a family,
there is no life
Where there is no compassion
for the impoverished
of the quinta,
there is no life
Where there is no recognition
of the learned men
of the epoch,
there is no life
for the might
of the pen,
there is no life
Where there is no remorse
for the slaughter
of an innocent,
there is no life
Where there is no justice
for the common man
of the land,
there is no life
Where there is no rapport
amongst the kinfolk
of a family,
there is no life
Where there is no compassion
for the impoverished
of the quinta,
there is no life
Where there is no recognition
of the learned men
of the epoch,
there is no life
Aminath Neena (20th century) Maldives
