Riot Area.

They have burnt my hut.

Not strangers, not police,

The people sent by the government to burn

They have not burnt my hut.

It is my friends

For shall I not call the friends

That the village next to ours?

How cannot they be our friends?

One stream gives water to us

We mourn with them their deaths.

They cheer our weddings

Always it has always been so

But they have burnt my hut

One brand into that thatch

Nothing is left of my roof.

The falling timbers smashed my cups

Chairs and tables are burnt.

A save blanket covers me

Now they have burnt my hut.
