The poem written by me on the recent incident of #UriAttack, these incidents churn my feelings and I go dumb and my fingers move to scribble the boiling thoughts. We are losing lives and peace and the families who give their son to guard our country faces the wrath of terror. In honor of the deceased, my heart grieves for them and My take in the form of a poem shapes in.

I honestly don't know how this situation will ever end. It just goes on and on, decade after decade. How many lives needlessly lost.
Thanks for stopping by. really the situation is getting grave day by day n people are losing lives.
