Kashmir Delirium

Kashmir Delirium

 

Oh People Of Earth! Thankful are we,

For each act of benevolence shown to us.

Your gilded sweet words describing,

The beauty of Kasmir, land and people.

 

Mention in books and talks of it's riches,

Naming it the Sweet Paradise Of Earth.

The Lord has been bountiful to Kashmir,

Treasure of resources in every sphere.

To elevate each aspect, our wish for life,

As every acre of this land is worth millions.

Full of treasures and recreational value,

Forestry with grandeur and silvery rivers.

 

The outside world's view is so limited,

Simple folks living in the lap of rich bounty.

Mentioned in world forums and organizations,

But what of the goal of giving us freedom?

 

What has The UN established in our name?

To measure the pain and anguish we bear,

At the hands, of our supposed benefactors.

The saviours who has us fractured.

But in reality they train their enforcers,

In the art of creating oceans of tears.

The red blood now hidden in camouflage,

The spent shells now gathered and hidden.

 

The leaders we are told to elect in electoral shams,

Run publicity kiosks and swell friend lists.

Joint conferences to address personal interests

Dialogues that never address the root issues.

 

Just the formalities and no sympathy,

For the ones burnt in cruel sadistic reprisals.

The hypocrisy continues deliriously unabated,

More augmentation of the security forces.

 

For a first hand view of deep hypocrisy,

Walk this land, you know as beautiful.

Religious leaders will teach you political artistry,

Sermons full of ambiguity and guile.

 

Waywardness and narrow mindedness on display,

Political apologists give great lessons.

Religion and religious ethnicity are tools,

That keep minds and bodies in total check.

Gamesmanship by leaders is the rule of thumb,

As promises are forgotten once office is obtained.

When writing of this succulent beautiful land,

Write of the air, pregnant with sadistic practices.

 

This land is being stripped of worldly treasures,

And the greatest treasure is mistreated daily.

The best of nation is the inhabitants,

Ignored are the real gems of this beautiful paradise.
