[After reading - Lullaby For Lost Generations by Naseer Ahmed Nasir] br br How long do we keep the vigil? br How many lifetimes will a wake last? br The life-bird still circles the burnt nest br Memory keeps turning back, Traitor, br To the days of joy and brings br No tear only a tiredness! br Victims of war - br Will they ever sleep again? br Waking up to nightmare dreams br Fear lurking in every corner of sky br Having peeped over the edge br Into the chasm of very death & hell br Victims of war - br Will they ever dare to live again!br br Angelina Pandianbr br
