The song of Misfortune!!

Long ago, in the pursuit of a peaceful life,

My children marooned me; it was end of my pride;

I always dreamed the end of this strife,

Attempt to peace, always followed by a lack of strides.

Isolated streets, with the smell of Gunpowder,

Feeling of disdain, whom do I blame!

Gone are the days, I was the reason of being prouder,

Promises from both the sides, proven lame.

Enough of bloodshed, shells and metals,

I am still known as heaven on earth;

Sound of guns defeating the sound of fallen petals,

My life is still driven on thy mercy, ohh Urth!!!

In the lap of river Jhelum, mellifluous & swish,

End of Discord, is all that I wish.

PS: This is an English sonnet with the rhyming scheme of abab cdcd efef gg (Also known as Shakespearean Sonnet). This is a song dedicated to people in Kashmir.
