Letters From The Battlefield In Jammu Kashmir



Letters From The Battlefield In
  Jammu Kashmir 



The rage you carry inside you 
The hatred that haunts you 
Is seen in your posture 
Your willingness to hurt an innocent...



This is not a war you can win sir
Your fight is not with her 
Your battle began long before you wore the uniform of terror....



Your emptiness
Your soullessness is now broadcast to the world 
You can kill
You can maim
Can you name sir
What you battle inside? 



Only the coward strikes an innocent
Only a bully dominates to submission
You are not a soldier
You are a purveyor of terror
A vigilante on the prowl 
Complicit in horror....
 
You may think you've won the battle 
But you are sadly mistaken
For you will fail to prevail in the war Raged solely against yourself .......
