The Narmada River
Narmada Diary
Its nearly complete
that dam built for giants
We will be no more
After it’s built
That dam built for men bigger than us
spanning fifteen million acres across our ancestors graves
splitting the waters of our divide
It’s nearly complete
the dam of the misunderstood
can you hear us?
Its hard to hear prayers underwater
The title is taken from an Indian movie that tells the story of a people being wiped out by greed. A dam that continues to be built while thousands of indigenous people lose generations of progress and thier enitire lives destroyed.
