Go India , Go Back

Go India , Go Back
..................................
My three-year old son
Is chanting the slogan 'Go India Go Back!',--
Seeing the crowd protesting in the street .
(His articulation is a melody to ears you know!)
While I sit inside 
 In the meadowy silence of my room--scared ,
His mother runs upstairs 
And they are watching the angry crowd
Through the windowpanes.

For them it is fun!
While I wonder what's going on...?

Every time, i recall the history
And curse the ignorant Mughals;
And dream of a morning:
India and Pakistan call their armies back.
And that monster-border is dead.
