It was absolutely pouring leaving Bangladesh
\nWe went into Tripura a hilly state to see
\nA place where traditional hill tribes
\nAnd religious groups now be
\nTRipura and misoram off the beaten track
\nA growing population here
\nHabitat loss attack
\nThe spectacled langurs and cloud leopards
\nHave no place to go
\nNow they are in zoo cages
\nAs our cameras did show<\/p>\n
At the Tio River
\nThere is MYSNMar
\nAnd the chin hills and the chin state
\nNow this is where we are
\nWe took the death slide over there
\nAnd trecked down to the place
\nConcerned about the soldiers
\nHaving now to face
\nThem would be so difficult
\nBecause the BBC
\nWas banned and wasnt able
\nTo visit actually<\/p>\n
So we decided anyway to visit
\nJust to see
\nWent into this vile regime
\nLeaving the largest democracy
\nThey are the forgotten people
\nFrom the forgotten land
\nA cock crowed a dog ran
\nIt was hard to understand
\nNo white man had been there before
\nClearly a dangerous place
\nWe didn’t stay there very long
\nAnd rather than lose face
\nThanked them and then said goodbye
\nBack over on the death slide
\nBack over into Mizoram
\nOn the Indian side<\/p>\n
