the mango tree


The mango tree
On the village of India
Two sisters of the lowest caste
Out on the open field

They were found hanging
Swaying on the mango tree
The medical report said
They were raped and killed

The poor can't afford toilets
The old caste system still exists today
The government of the day hasn't solved it
Leaving the poor to be used and discarded

The two sisters lives cut short
By the sadistic men on the prowl
The police in India can't run the field
Leaving the dark forces engaging in evil ways

The mango tree
Swaying by the wind
The weight of two sisters
A sad and sorrowful way to go

God will have mercy
Granting the girls an easy path to paradise
Death in the hands of the evil men
They will get their true justice
