A Bordered Divide {India-Pakistan Divide}


This poem talks about the feelings of a farmer whose yields are divided by the barriers that cut between his farm and which goes on to dividing his country in to two. (India-Pakistan divides)

The Farmers is jealous of the Flying bird, who can stray on either sides and he also wishes the same, and he wishes that there were no borders.

 

Spread across the green fields

are the ends of my hands.

Cut over the human yields

the lines across the sands.

 

Stood as divide over the thrones

as so over the plough.

The labor of whose once

barrenned through the greens now.

 

My reach though cut till the sway

devastated plains though run endless.

And one pledge still remains of the sunny day

a walk across the mesh.

 

Of the free fly across

flaps that without a passport.

Envious much of those wings that cross

without a play to the vote.

 

For let me too squeeze with the air

and sport across the shields.

A jaunt for the mother there {Personifies his part of the farm on the other side his Mother}

hidden behind my winds.

 

Crowned, but a freedom of an arm

yet I ply for a few more spreads.

And wish to share my brother’s charm

and a mother that I miss in my meads.
