Goose bumps once again <br />When the funeral rites were over <br />When all the praise was showered <br />On the dead left in deep blue earth <br />When it was said blessings shall <br />Bestow as a heap of mud was left <br />On the side of grave <br />Empty handed and empty headed <br />Into the vacuum of nothingness <br /> <br />Goose bumps once again <br />When a rumor broke out <br />That on the blood thirsty land <br />For there is no water now to flower <br />Blood was fed to the dry roots of trees <br />That a young boy had been killed <br />In front of the school while leaving <br />Every one believed the rumor <br />For its truth <br />A very old woman passed by my side <br />In tears her torn frock gathering dust <br /> <br />The killers were the new creed <br />Who had waged war against the innocent <br />While the enemies shake hands in warmth <br />Many are trampled under the iron feet <br />Of state and rebels <br />27/5/2009<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/goose-bumps-2/
