Non healing wound
War is an non healing wound
That slowly and silently festers into the conscience of the nation .
The bullet that killed the soldier
Burnt the soul of the civilian too.
Tears rolling down the helpless women
Bust open like a volcano in the hearts of her children too.
Even though it was freezing cold, snowing
People walked on the hot burning charcoal of hatred .
Long after the guns have been silenced
The shimmering fires in the souls of men
Are waiting to burn the forest again ,
Only this time fires will burn on the other side of the border.
