Was an old picture
Of a few mothers
Grieving over two coffins.

'When I look at this picture
I wonder what does the war mean.
Only flags change,
The faces of mothers
Remain the same! '
Now we do not know
In which jail is he
A prisoner!
In his study
A pair of shoes
Lay orphan.
Erdogan's Turkish police
Who dragged him away
Refused to allow him to wear
His shoes and face mask.
Human Rights
Given for a toss.
Aggression of power by religion
Forebodes ruin of the nation
Whether it is Turkey or India
Whether in the name of Ram or Rahim.
While democracy roars
In the cyber space
Its guardians look
The other way.
I used to support Amnesty International, but, as with other 'things' i've 'done' in my lifetime, I no longer am affiliated with it, BUT IT MAY be a group to look at.
Feel immense pleasure that you enjoyed the poem. Thank You Poet
Good governance goes beyond political competition to progress and development.The human angle must not be overlooked

Tragic but war is as old as mn and it doesn't look like it will change soon. Well written
