[After reading - Lullaby For Lost Generations by Naseer Ahmed Nasir]
How long do we keep the vigil?
How many lifetimes will a wake last?
The life-bird still circles the burnt nest
Memory keeps turning back, Traitor,
To the days of joy and brings
No tear only a tiredness!
Victims of war -
Will they ever sleep again?
Waking up to nightmare dreams
Fear lurking in every corner of sky
Having peeped over the edge
Into the chasm of very death & hell
Victims of war -
Will they ever dare to live again!
Angelina Pandian
