My thoughts on terrorism plaguing the beautiful valley of India.

The hands that held rifles,
Must nurture tulip flower,
Fighting on matters of trifles,
Raining here is drops of red shower.

Rifles that shot the peace dove,
Battle going on above the peak,
Can’t they think of peace and love?
Sounds of tankers should stop there speak.

Land were human blood was shed,
Violence, sounds of gun shots,
Innocent minds, where have you been led?
Could we connect the missing dots?

Valley filled with turmoil,
The place where mother Ganges flows,
Valley where blood fed the soil,
I wish, again the oars of boats rows.

PS - Sorry if that is a dumb question - is it a river or something?

"Mother Ganges is very old and has seen much turmoil. I hope one day she will flow through a peaceful country in a peaceful world.
