A man of brilliance starves tonight.
Not for food, not for his own plight,
But for the children who gave up their lives,
As a corrupt system ignored their cries.
The saffron leaders turn their heads away,
Those in power have nothing to say.
Yet the guilty sleep beneath banners bright.
So a man of brilliance starves tonight.
Perhaps one day, we wouldn't have to plead,
For justice, for truth, for accountability,
Until that day comes, for you and I -
A man of brilliance starves tonight.
