That is that

When the war started,we were shut in,
And we saw only in dreams
Our beloved ones
Despite the promised oath of death doing us apart.
It’s four or five decades now
That their dreams and ours,
Did not come to pass.
They have treated us with scorn, like floor mats,
But let us arise
Stand straight from under the table
Turn upside down their feast
And make a complete turnaround
Of what is left of our lives
And the generations to come
That is that.

Bose.
