| a naxalite training camp in Central India |
"they have lost their land"
said a feeble voice
the villagers of Mardana...
eaten up by a large dam
that gives us electricity

| Mardana heart of india -from google earth 22°10'36.87" N 75°49'10.15" E |
"its so irritating" the feeble voice said
so much fertile land...such fertile land
the villagers of Mardana...
eaten by a large dam
that feeds us glory

| snap shot from a nba protest rally |
back home to face book
the verdict on Binayak Sen
the true fighters of today
imprisoned by us
and our addiction to progress
"they did not even give us a hearing in the court"
the feeble voice said
the villagers of Mardana...
eaten by a large dam
and alien notions of justice
from Mardana to Chhattisgarh
the march of the nation state
the growing death of citizenship
eaten by a large dam
that nourish our sense of power
chicken stew and christmas for dinner
"i don't want to talk about it" the feeble voice said
the villagers of Mardana...
eaten by a large dam
that echos our silence
