[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!
Being a civilized man we have inherited two vital qualities to prove me a human.....1st is bossing and 2nd is obviously brutality. That is a byproduct of perverted mental complex. Bossing is related with egoism. In family life, social life, state life and international surroundings these qualities dominates our civilized identity. Perhaps these are the reason of war. And victims.....who not.....to earn ones breads or to beg.....without any war could it be possible! Bloodshed or devastation are not only the memorable tocken of war, mental torture, character assassination, various psychological assaults.... are also due to everyday war we face as a modern man. Any way........ Well-written a total poem. Another experience of reading. Regards, 10+ pranab
Deep meaning is involved here. Very good lines, i will surely remember to involve some in my scripts.
We are all the victims, and we are all the responsibles, We can`t say and set -a side them, the reason it happens is the globe is revolving, and we are sitting and sleeping the dry stem of uncertainty,10++
the root of every creation rests on madness......... that continues as wars...both internal and external........ we call the war within as poetry.......... and outside as idiotery.......how sad.........................
