Come back home

This is a poetic letter by a sister in Kashmir to her brother who has now become a terrorist due to religious misguidance.This sister is requesting him to leave everything and come back home.

Please my brother

I will never bother

Whatever you had done in past

Killed innocent

Just for the false welfare of caste

But the time is still left

Return back from the unknown

Please my brother come back home

Please my brother

This sister is requesting you helplessly

Listen to the wail of a moribund mother

Listen to the shrill call of an ill father

I know you never did that before

While destroying families ruthlessly

I can't bear it without you anymore

Please my brother come back home

Please my brother

I'll forgive you for your every sin

Except you there is no other

To bear my palanquin

Those ten years without my closest kin

Are piercing my heart like a pin

But still I have no regrets and complains

Just relieve the people from your terror

And relieve yourself from the brutal killing syndrome

Please my brother come back home

Please my brother

Do you still remember those winter days?

Do you still remember those  snowy dales?

Where we played without fear,without terror and relentless

Those dales now seem to sink into the blooded bays

The snow turned red and the sun fails

Every time when it tries to rise to begin days

Bullets fall like  rain when a cloud wails

That's it my brother

Tears have started to pour

Please,please dear come back home!

Just come back home!

Inshallah!

Author's Note

I became a sister of a terrorist brother while writing this. Although this is readable for all but Indians would better understand this as they are aware of the Kashmir issue

Your descriptions here are really powerful and effective. Specially with the change in scenery such as the snow turning red. This is very deep and i think an awesome write. Well done Aaradhya

[Christina May Shanaberg]

This piece was wonderfully written and, obviously, very heartfelt. You don't have to be an Indian to understand the emotions in your words. A wonderful, simply wonderful poem, indeed!
