A Symphony of pain (Kashmir Attack - 22nd April 2025)*

Dear Friend's Was deeply disturbed by the Kashmir incident that happened recently. Wrote this poem today.

*A Symphony of pain (Kashmir Attack - 22nd April 2025)* In Kashmir's embrace, a paradise unveiled, Where beauty and peace, a story was hailed. Where sunlight danced, now shadows reside, Innocent dreams, forever denied. Terror's cold grip, a sudden, harsh blow, Leaving hearts shattered, in grief's silent flow. "Om Shanti" we whisper, a plea for peace, For those who are grieving, may solace find release. A world torn by violence, a symphony of pain, From terror's swift strike, to climate's slow drain. Innocent lives claimed, by forces unseen, A chilling reminder, of what could have been. But hope still remains, a flicker in the night, A call to action, to choose what is right. Compassion's embrace, a beacon so bright, Guiding our steps, towards a world where love takes flight. Let's build a future, where peace holds the sway, Where every child lives, safe and secure each day. A world sustainable, where justice reigns true, A legacy of love, for me and for you. From Kashmir's tragedy, a lesson profound, Peace and compassion, are gifts to be found. Let us honor the lost, with a vow we will keep, To build a better world, where love runs deep.
