(Over the past decade, Nepal has transitioned from a monarchy to a republic, but mindsets majorly remain the same. And this is true especially for Kathmandu, the capital city. Kathmandu is still where all the power in Nepal lies. It lives in its own bubble; no tragedy outside the valley fazes it.)
The masters have changed but not the slaves
A cocoon of silence engulfs this city
Deaf to the screams outside this valley
Someday your walls will fall
One day this bubble will burst
And you’ll hear the cries
This bastion of bigotry, this fortress of inequality
Architects of all that is wrong
What have you done?
This city with no conscience, no standards
Must fall, must burn
