Songs I see – sketch 4

Song – Fakiri by The Kabir Cafe
Lyrics
“हो खड़ा रे कबिर पहने अपनी ग़रीबी
सीना ठोके छाणता है अपनी फक़ीरी
दुनिया का भय नहीं बोले सच्ची बोली रे
छिनेगा क्या कोई उससे खाली उसकी झोली रे
बड़ी ताकत है ग़रीबी में..”

Have you noticed, the biggest protests in the world have come from people who’ve realised there’s nothing left to lose. That’s when fear dissolves.
That’s when the voice becomes free.

This sketch is an ode to the farmers who dared to speak out, made history,
and dared to force the revocation of the black farm laws.
