after Guardian's

 This misty air...........

Life   as  committed soldier

 In the  warfront, in the urge

and wake of enthusiasm,

is life to be  celebrated  worth

A memory for years in history;

But to be treated like a slave,

to be  exploited, to be put

on garbs of starvation and thirst

a memory and moment to be erased.

Together in the same cell

 Tied up to their stories

Of village folk, to be behind

The scene of horrid happenings

How long – is their question.

Whole city, whole air infested

With pollution, poison and

Death and acrimony, running

Beyond remedy and  guilt

has left almost all, for their

need, is the essential want of hour.

Slave trade  and trafficking

Brutal argument with arrows

and chained metals their

day’s  thrills  and ends

when peace   mantra of desolate

of so many now  left on trees  and void.

from far off  a song of nothingness

amid  mist , mist of torpor

and  blood thirsty  resounding

every where. For some

only hope is the solace.
