How Many Pakistan a Bitter Truth

Dawn But darker. It’s stronger – bitter parts no wind blowing no bird singing Instead bullets shooting alas shouting, screaming terrifying wars monstrous killings bloodshed violence shedding of tears return of death how many Pakistan No places to hide Houses burnt to ashes. Bloodshed Bloodshed commanded burn the house. someone screaming help help help no more Pakistan (metaphor) no change thousand years more. no smile on face, no ray of hope no right or wrong no identity who kills whom one more round to go few more left your skin is black your religion is bad you are poor you are rich divide and rule FOR A POUND ? shoot and watch blood flow so many bereft STOP STOP The Brutal Game how many Pakistan sunset vigil on sand stand alone, yet as one fading light of life still want bloodshed how many Pakistan more minute’s silence place tears roll down on face Deafening silence fills the air no more war no more blood no more Pakistan lets pray our reunion made --------------------------------------------- Pakistan word is used as metaphor only
