A heart breaking poem on the life of #migrantlabour in this #lockdown.
The text of the poem;
"Ek Lau thi Jali Kahi,
Savera Dene ek Aashiyane ko..
Utne me bachhe pukare,
Maa.. Maa.. Ab to dede kuch khane hai..
Badi bukh Lagi hai,
Kitna dur se chal k aaye hai,
Aapne kaha tha na usme bahut kuch hai,
Hum Jo Jhola utha k aaye hai..
Par maa ki aankhe nam thi,
Kyu k wo jhola pura khali tha..
Usne jo baccho ko sapne dikhaye,
Wo sapna pura jaali tha..
Usne Lalten dhemi kar,
Apne aasuo ko chupa diya..
Bachho ko dar na lage naa,
Isliye Juth muth ka chula bhi fuka diya..
Usi samay ghar aaye Pitaji,
Jo peshe se majdur the..
400 km dur se chal k aaye hai,
Is baat pe wo gaon me mashur the..
Par ab jab pura desh hi band hai,
To wo dihadi kaha se laayega,
Jab kuch boya hi nahi usne to,
Wo khana kaha se layega
Baba.. baba
Badi bhuk lagi hai..
Ye keh keh kar bachho ne
Baba ko rula diya,
Par aaj bachho ki zid har gai,
Kyu ki neend ne unhe sula diya..
Ab jab kehne ko hi kuch na tha,
Wo ek dusre k aasuo me kho gaye..
Jab kuch na mila unhe khane ko,
Wo ek duje ko gale laga kar so gaye.."

What is your full name?
“Dhemswys Swarnahctwyn, of the Shadow Hunters of the Northern Seas.” She says, and shifts a bit awkwardly. “Dhemswys will do, anyways. I’m still too young to be a full-fledged Shadow Hunter.”
What do your friends call you?
“Most of my comrades call me ‘Dhemie’.” She shrugs a little. “My name isn’t as hard to pronounce as other Roegadyn names, but still. I don’t mind, though.”
What is your favorite animal?
“Oh, hum...” She ponders the question. “Sharks, I would say.”
Where were you born?
“I was born in the northern islands, one of the few relatively safe places that remain in our world. It’s kind of a headquarters of sorts for our order, and from there the Shadow Hunters target places under Nihil attack.”
Do you have children?
“What? No, no-- I mean, I’m only eighteen years old.” She is taken aback.
Is there a person/people you love?
“No, not besides my family...”
What is your favorite color?
“I like black.”
What is your full occupation?
“My family belongs to the Shadow Hunters, and I’ve trained to become one all my life... though I’m still too young.” She admits reluctantly. “I came to Eorzea to choose a discipline of arms and I ended up in Ishgard, where I became a full-fledged dragoon. It wasn’t easy, because I’m a Roegadyn, but fortunately Ishgard wasn’t as bigoted as it was centuries ago. And then, while training in Vylbrand, I met Nagi and her sister and became one of her Guardians of Shadow.”
Are you good at physical fighting?
“I think I am. Even if I’m short for a Roegadyn, I’m agile and fast.”
Which form are you best at?
“As I said, I’m a dragoon.” She tilts her head. “I’m best when swinging a lance.”
What about magic?
“That’s not what I do best.” She admits. “I’m much better when fighting at close range.”
Which type are you best at?
“Well, I wouldn’t say I’m at the level of the legendary Azure Dragoon of the past or the Warrior of Light, who is rumored to have had dragonblood, but I can wield a Gae Bolg and use dragon techniques, so I guess it counts as some sort of magic.”
Craftsmanship?
“Nothing in particular, besides smithing and armorcraft.”
Any other skills?
“The Echo gives me great agility, and that allows me to leap higher and further than your regular dragoon.” She explains. “And since my Shadow Crystal is Wind-elemental, I can use its powers to exploit it.”
Are you an only child?
“I have an older sister, Trachswys.” She slightly shifts. “She’s a full-fledged Shadow Hunter, unlike me.”
Where do you see yourself in five years?
“In the world of the past there were no Shadow Hunters, so I don’t know if I could become one there.” She frowns. “The order was founded to fight the Nihil, so if we are to prevent their coming... Don’t know. Maybe I should found it when everything is over.”
Have you ever almost died?
“Our training is hard, and we’re trained to face extreme danger, so yes, more than once. Not as much as official Shadow Hunters, I’d wager, but still.”
Do you have a secret, not just a secret, but like a really big secret hardly anyone knows?
“...” She moves her feet a bit. “I tend to introduce myself as a Shadow Hunter, even if I’m not one yet.”
Salty or sweet?
"Salty. I’m used to it, having been born in a rather secluded island.”
Do you like yourself?
"Uhm...” She takes some seconds to reply. “Kind of?”
Do you believe in the Twelve?
"Yes, to an extent. I spent two years in Ishgard, so I had to hear their prattling about Halone almost every day. But I don’t believe they care much about the world or the people.”
Are you religious?
"Shadow Hunters believe that the gods have failed and let the world be consumed by gloom and invaded by the Nihil, so the key to save the star resides in we people. So no, I’m not religious.”
Do you carry prejudice with you?
“I side-eye a bit priests and religion, but that’s just because I think they place their faith in the wrong hands.”
What do you consider entertainment?
“Uhm...” She fumbles with her fingers. “Dancing. I like dancing when no one is watching. Don’t tell anyone.”
Favorite drink?
“In Ishgard, there’s this sweet drink, heavenly eggnog. I took a liking to that one, it’s great compared with the rather sour drinks in the north.”
Do you have any family traditions?
"Chasing down Nihil might be the most important we had...” She shrugs.
Are you a good person?
“I know I don’t talk much and that I look spiky and harsh because I’m a dragoon and a Shadow Hunter, but overall I think I’m not bad?” She shifts awkwardly. “I think. We try to protect the people. That doesn’t make us perfect, nor kind, but we’re not bad.”
Thank you for answering my questions.
"It’s been a pleasure.” She gives a short bow.
