Mothers on this side mothers on that side loosing their sons to dirty wars wounded on this side wounded on that side wounded in heart on every side No animosity, No anger Just tears and hope that it will end some day When the gunshots stop and silence descends hushed up wails that break open walls mothers who learned to cry in silence, Sons and daughters – whose fathers lost Widowed women buried in sorrow Scenes of battles tales of [...]
I Standing by the sea, I whispered to a wave that touched my feet and played around “Give me a piece of history that I can take home; something that someone gave you; when they stood here years ago’ the wave retreated promising to be back soon and I waited II I waited for days and months and then one day it came back gave me a torn shoe, a baby shoe eaten by fish, much of it I asked [...]
I Nostalgia is not getting stuck in the past it is unraveling memories stuck in time reconnecting with parts of a forgotten you about faces that smiled and frowned at you the hands that hugged, cared and guided you words that mattered the world to you simple fun that made you complete once remembering people who touched your life. It is about missing the true moments that made you II A part of me often visits from the past shows [...]
Their Cries Silence the church bells Stop the temple hymns Interrupt the call for prayers Their Cries Get louder when you ignore Do you know who they are? You should… Because they are our children Killed and Orphaned in the bloody timelines of history When religions, politics & power clash with one another in useless ideological struggles Their Cries We can never escape from them Because they are our children

They want you to stop and mute But you should scream and shout You should sing and dance Let them hear and see you They will be amazed by who you are They would try to pull you down But you should rise above them See a tomorrow that is beyond them Make a difference and they will follow And thank you tomorrow They want you to stop writing But you should keep going Write till the pen runs out [...]
They say it is not the end That you are not yet there They say you should move on The world does not stop today They say you don’t have to give up Not today, not today yet That you can start all over again The world will keep turning for you They say its ok to be at fault Not once, but many times And you can makeup this time Just feel it from your heart They say you [...]
They told her she could not write again But she had been taught different Be Free; Talk your mind; Write the truth Stand up for freedom is what she had learned But they told her she should stop Freedom becomes a costly affair If your captivity defines their existence They will befriend you and give you the gallows They will throw you to Lions and watch the fun If the Lions don’t eat they will eat you alive And brand [...]
