Bhopal-Lessons not Learned

The pain of Methyl-Isocyanide not forgotten,
In Bhopal,the gas that caused untold suffering,
Pours down my throat like hot lead,--
Why, o why, didn’t you heed the warnings?

Chlorine, the toxic gas,
Pours down my throat like hot lead,
Again in Mumbai,
Why o why didn’t you heed the warnings?

Why does History have to repeat itself,
To repeat untold sufferings on
Innocent Man?
When will we learn the lessons of History?

Lethargic Bureaucracy,
You are the reason why
I continue to suffer!
Toxic gases continue to pour down my throat like hot Lead!
