Shahid, Come And Witness

Shahid,
Come and WITNESS,
The illusions of peace;
Under the serene shades of Naseem Bagh
Everything puts up a sober show,
And i'm forced to forget
The blood on the streets (of Lal Chowk)
The broken glasses(of the ''Dignity'Showroom)
The blurb of the new books on Kashmir
(by eminent''squalors'') ,
resting on the shelves of The Atlantic Book Shop.

Oh! the complacent lilies,
Growing beside the graveyard;
Sheer white, untouched by grief.

Well-clad and pompous,
Speaking;
But not our own lanuage,
Discussing,
But not our own culture,
Our history, our heritage,
Living,
A life haunted by death,
A life of begged 'dignity'.

Oh! the complacent lilies,
The children of graveyard,
Sheer white, untouched by grief.

Are not the gallons of gore,
Enough to paint your petals red! !

And dont you feel to piece together
A mothers heart torn apart,
The pieces of broken glass! ! !

Said tell them,
About the burden of Other's narrative,
About the natives;
The best writers of their own history.

Oh! the hiers of generational corruption,
Come out of these phelegmatic ghettos,
Come out with your eyes wide-open,
With your hearts human! ! ! ! !

Enough is enough,
The cynical answer is Hitler;
I've watched you Romano on BBC,
And gone with you to Auswich,
The bare brute of power,
The pair of your ageing eyes
The irrevocable human losses,
The ugliness of history,
Commiseration and heart-felt sympathy.

Yet, Hitler has his appeals,
You are silent,
Silently murdering our cause,
Your complacency, your brutality because,
Your hearts beat without
The music of revolution.

Can't you come out.....
Can't you come out.....

The vicious cycle of history goes on,
Among the rosy illusions of peace.
