Non healing wound

Bijapur1993

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.

 

 

( Dr Fazal Faroqui )

    'The bullet that killed the 'valiant' soldier
    Burnt the soul of the 'passer-by' civilian, too.'
    so demoralizingly, True
    such a poignant read
    thanks for sharing
