Salute the Martyrs


Kashmir Martyrs’ Week they say,
salute the martyrs I say.
Who were the martyrs, I ask
Is martyrdom a child’s task.
Lemme tell you how a child became a martyr
a martyr he never thought to be.
Ask the mother who lost her son
who wasn’t yet even in high school.
Beaten black & blue by men
supposed  to be ‘security forces’.
Came out of house with a bat in hand
aimed to emulate the cricketers at large.
Little did he know that they were on prowl
chased him to death without regret.
A kid just 9 years old tiny tot
it would be insane to call him a threat.
A threat to the law, to the order,
for which the people at helm, kill and slaughter.
Killed the kids & murdered the youth,
slaughtered the young, maimed the old.
Is this the law, is this the order,
is this the peace we aim to conquer?
