The Peace-Snatched Place
Many asked me to write
A poem on this beautiful place
I don’t have that vision and the sight
Where resides weapon and its fear
Majority of the time security remains tight
That even continues many months a year
Ignorant persons from here to there to everywhere take it light
Can’t they see many innocents having tear
Suffering here is every profession
From students, teachers, police, army to politician
Doctors, engineers, lawyers to even administration
There is stagnation, brutality and insanity
Nothing degrading ever seen in humanity
We have heard since ages it’s soulful place on Earth
Now it seems like a crime to have this place as birth
I don’t have anything better to tell
As it’s becoming like hell seeing this every day in my heart I often cry
Yes with deaths of innocent, every day I also die.
