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?
