Little Toes (For Nusrat Jahan Rafi)

I saw her soft little toes after white bandages

Miles of bandages
Miles of burnt skin flash bones veins organs
Miles of souls abuses tears screams
I saw
So I decided to stay awake
So I should stay awake
I don't sleep
I can't sleep
I should keep my eyes stretched
I don't sleep
I shouldn't sleep
My eyes are getting flashed
My eyes are getting stabbed
My eyes will be bleeding
But I shouldn't close them
No I shouldn't shut them down
I watch their souls
I hear them screaming
In the air
All in the air
They are running down from sky high
Oh my poor soul
My soul comes down from sky high too
We drag the sky down to the little grass tips
We should drag the sky down to her little toes
Oh little toes
Soft like my little sister's demanding words
They were to walk around
They were to move round the world
They were to dance like happy birds
They were to touch the morning dews on grasses first

But they ran for justice
They ran for dignity
they ran to the rooftop to save some loved one
They stood for her respect
Oh little toes
Calls the sky to fall tonight
You can't stop it
No one can stop it.
