Mountain children
the time has come
to end the silence
Sound out
like mountain shepherds
returning with their flock
You are not animals
that have no sense
you deserve a better life.
Yes It is time..
Sweet language of Pashto
Lay claim to respect with a cry.

i liked the poem and as every one says it always help it but when i do it mum says am going nuts that is unfair bcz it is the only way to express thing u cant say carry on the good works afzal
Simply ammazing, crying is always the best way of expressing your emotions, it's also the most peaceful way of expressing your anger without harming anyone else except yourself. Really loved it, nice job.
i d say it s better to cry and let your emotions out.. rather than keeping them inside! ! ! this a great write indeed! ! ! 10++

I would like to translate this poem
so wonderfully spoken. i love how you used simalies to expain your point across into making more sense with a poem so short but explains so much detailed with the words you have choosen. it so creatively put together so well with detail that others won't even think about, that make it so great and a very expressed poem.
