Yesterday i had a wild dream,
a dream that has shaken my conscience .
I saw an old lady cuffed with heavy iron chains,
and some evil forces were trying to rip her apart.
She was crying so hard that me too couldn't stop myself from crying.
i saw a number of serpents crawling on her long hairs,
i saw some wild dogs trying to tear her flesh from her legs,
i saw some external forces making her feel the worst pain,
tears were rolling down her face and disappearing,
the heat of the pain was so intense,
that it lead the tears evaporate midway.
i mustered a little courage to get nearer to the old lady,and i did.
in the pain she could utter a few lisping words.
Son.... don't worry about me if i died,
but please save my children.
if you can see the tears in my eyes,
if you can feel the pain i am undergoing,
it surely is not for the things visible to you,
its only for my children!
i can't see my budding flowers dying,
this pain of gloom is of my children,
these tears are for my children.
SAVE THEM!!!
I tried to analyze the things,
as there was nobody around her,
except the kind of wild dogs and
the dreadful serpents crawling.
i couldn't see any of her children around her,
even i couldn't see any human being around her.
for whom she was having the eternal pain?
Is there anyone who could save my children?
"my sons have become the ETERNAL PALLBEARERS.
The law of nature is being jeopardized,
old people are carrying the coffins of the younger ones.
Father is carrying the son,
Big brother is carrying the younger one.
my daughters are being raped and molested,
Mothers are being harassed and insulted".
i wondered is this any kind of a fatal disease,with no cure.
Who is that old lady?
I woke up in the morning,
there was something unending,unfinished thought,
which required an early need pay off.
I was lost in the deep thought for the whole day long,
what was the missing link,who was that old lady.
And suddenly i heard her voice again,
i looked everywhere but nobody was there,
the voice of that old lady was hitting my ears constantly.
i closed my eyes in mere dismay,
what i saw was that old lady again.
saying "Son don't you recognize your own mother.........I AM YOUR MOTHER LAND KASHMIR"
do something for me instead of being just a WAYFARER,
instead of being an ETERNAL PALLBEARER.
