Kashmir

Kashmir a heaven on earth So said those nerds Gardens full of land mines Where the fire flower blooms Crystal clear waters Full of human debris Kashmir a heaven on earth Said one and all The frozen Dal lake A view to behold Full with wood chunks And leaking petrol Kashmir a heaven on earth Said the teachers in school The clear air With stench of rotting food Empty open spaces Full of decorative tourists Oh yes definitely a heaven on earth

Many congratulations Tahera on your win. Sometimes governments should use the monies from their tourist industries and help their own people. Then jusy maybe, the sights you mention could and should disappear >> James

I must admit I had to read this several times over, and I liked it better each time that I did-- what a different take you did with this write and such stark contrasts you put in here that really made me think-- super congrats on your 4th place win, Tahera!-- nikko :)
