Partition 1947
(Rema Prasanna)
Parted souls
bleeding wounds
mother cried
no one heard
fenced borders
splintered divide
frenzied minds
crashed and died
One hand
freedom
on the other
dissection, division
struggle not ended
on a peace pact
peace subdued
Parted lives
parted hearts
parted freedom
shared many
shared not mother
she wailed
her heart sliced
Parted love
parted ideals
stood apart
on parallel pathways
on fenced borders
war scored
final verdict
parted nation
parted for ever
touching poem of those midnight children.............good poem
[The final verdict Parted nation Parted for ever]. Great tragedy it was. We still feel that we have courage to make invisible such cartographic lines forever. we have to become a united south Asia. liberal.......and fully liberal South Asia.
Thanks for writing about this very painful page in history where even families were parted.
A sad moment in the history of the nations, both of them. Well written!
Simple words, sharp feelings..May there be peace..Best of your poems Thanks for sharing
That is a poem I shall contemplate until sundown. Simple words Sharp, quick verse,
I read 'Freedom at midnight' few months back. After that I lost peace of mind, lost quiet sleep for many weeks. Still there is a feeble desire in my heart to see our Bharath with Sindhu river fertile fields. Will it materialize? Your poem discloses the pain you sensed by the past partition. At last I could see in PH a poetess of sincere love to our Motherland. My regards from my deep heart.
Reminding those dreaded days of partition, the political gamble played by the colonial rulers.More than geographical partition., liit tis the seperation of many families and generation old legacy on either side.Nice work.My 10
Partition of 1947 is like an Unforgettable Memory for the once who actually saw it happen since one big nation was parted into two which is sad but true. Interesting poem to read as poems like these show what has gone by.
