FOR GOA
O Goa,
How beautifully
Enigmatic
You are!
A diamond
You are marveled
Even though
Your face
Is frightfully
Disfigured...
Undone by lies
Plundered by thieves
A treasure
You still
Remain
Intact
Ever prestine!
Myths and legends
Swirl about
Your name
Leading you to
A false fame...
The true
You
Lives in those
Who of your
Soil are
Born.
Those who
Live for you
With no motive
But to
Love you...
You Liveo
In folklore and
Song
In the accents
Of your spoken
Tongue!
Yes, you live
In open sky and fields
That slowly
Are turning
Grey...
O Goa, enigmatically
Beautiful
Tell no more
Of your secrets
To none
But your creations.
Stay true, remain
Indisputably
You!
FREDERIKA MENEZES
