When I tried taming a snake,
I used it for harming others,
And I got addicted to snakes.
So I got myself more snakes,
Day came when I lost count,
Innumerable they grew,
Filling up my home.
Intending to use them for no good,
I set them up on my half-brother,
The brother cried and I rejoiced,
He lost his countless children,
I lost the count of my snakes,
There was no stopping me,
I enjoyed my half-brother's loss.
A really dark day came forth,
They turned hostile on the host,
They stung my own children,
I now repent & seek to blame,
As I feel embarrassed to confess,
So I blame it on my half-brother.
Etched out of India after post-independence partition by the Britishers, Pakistan is now known to train terrorists that it uses for carnage against India.
Peshawar was the place where the militants shamelessly attacked the Army school in broad day light and massacred near about 150 students.
But now the parallel government in Pakistan run unofficially by Hafiz Saeed is shamelessly blaming its own sins on India.
This poem marks the starting of a new era of my poems.
