Who will forget MAY 3RD, 2023?

Like Hitler's anti-Semitic ideology,
Biren declared the Kukis as foreigners,
Similar to the Nazis' Aryanization of Germany,
They began the Meitei-nization of Manipur.
Like the Angel of Death at Auschwitz,
They brutally murdered many Kukis in Imphal.
Similar to the Nuremberg Laws of 1935,
They enacted laws to define Kukis were not native.
Like assigning yellow stars to Jews,
All Kuki households were marked.

Who will ever forget May 3rd, 2023?
Like the Nazis' final solution for the Jews,
May 3rd was the final solution to eliminate the Kukis.
In the Kuki hills of Manipur,
May 3rd will never be forgotten,
Though no one wishes to remember.
For many, it will be remembered as -
The day they lost their loved ones,
Their smiles never to be seen again,
Their sweet voices never to be heard again.

In Imphal, the Kukis were chased like wild animals,
Their homes torched and looted,
Even the police, supposed to protect them,
Aided the majority in fulfilling their wishes.
And the central forces watched helplessly,
Like spectators at the Colosseum in Rome,
There are no questions of human rights around the world,
Even after ten months had passed, as if we are animals.

Like Hitler and his SS team faced trial after WWII,
When will Biren and his men face trial?
They are waiting for your answers.
Who are they, you ask?
They are -
The parents whose daughters were raped and killed;
The mother whose son never returned from work,
The husband whose wife was killed on the road,
Children whose parents were burned alive in their car.

Whoever is in power and has the capacity to solve,
But never pays attention and never tries,
May meet the fate of Klaus Grabowski, the rapist,
At the hands of Marianne Bachmeier, the mother of the victim.
