A Dream of a Nation Torn Apart

Uma Chandrasekar posted under Poetry Tale-a-thlon S1: Poetry on 2021-08-30



Struggles of the past for one’s rights Prayers of hordes for days and nights  When finally looked promising Came the reality knocking The dream of all shattered Women stripped off their dignity Men losing their identity Children mercilessly orphaned System completely sabotaged The dream of millions gone Saboteurs cloaked up as allies Big Nations deluding with lies Utter terror in the terrain No one to feel the people’s pain The dream of the mass killed When fleeing the country seems right With no trustworthy help in sight Lives scarred by the recurring war All they pray for peace from afar The dream of freedom squashed   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
