I Wish I Were The Border

I wish I were the Border!
I would clear myself off this world
To keep its comeliness in order.
With my existence, they thought, their nations, they pearled
But I divide. Let me disappear and the only kinship prevails.
Let me disappear, disorder I breed.

Oh, mother Earth! I apologize for spoiling the grace of your children.
Because of me, the devil of Pollution prospered in your bosom
Because of me, all humane values lie rotten
As violent as a hungry lion, they won’t let you blossom.
I cause bloodshed on your holy scarf. Let me disappear for all’s sake.
Let me disappear, disorder I breed.

When your children put an end to each other’s life in my name
Saying they are dutiful, don’t love the earth but a bit of land
What a commitment of sin, oh, what a shame!
Patriotism will rest in peace and a fire of hatred fanned.
I am a gravedigger. Let me disappear and let life bloom.
Let me disappear, disorder I breed.

There are people who just want peace, not me.
Why is humanity not afraid of the great Judgement Day?
For our posterity let’s amend, a future with no barren lands they see.
No one wants to see the end of the world in such a malevolent way.
It will be jolly if I am gone, dear Earth! Let me disappear into a black hole.
Let me disappear, disorder I breed

  2. This poem is moving… It is unique… As the matter of fact… The idea is somehow really different… I wish I were… The bird… The President… I think these come to mind when you generally write on this particular topic… But BORDER… It is rare… And to be true you when first read the title… It seems a bit… Odd! But after reading the whole poem… You get to see the emotions the poet wants to convey for the cause she cares about. Peace was clearly a very important cause to choose… Keep up the good work!

  4. I have ben reading from quite a long time but the I really like the feelings and true but hard messages shared by Kinjal. Keep up the great vision and let’s improve this world and make it better for living.

  10. सुंदर लेखनी के साथ सुंदर शब्दों का जो चयन किया गया हुआ है वह अतुलनीय है और मैं इस बच्ची ने जो अपने शब्दावली में से कविता के माध्यम से जो सर्कस में छुपे बाणों को निकाला है वह अपने आप में एक अद्भुत व विस्मयकारी है मैं भगवान से प्रार्थना करता हूं की अभी छुपे हुए सर्कस के तरकस के तूणीरो का समय-समय पर अपने विचारों व लेखनी के माध्यम से व्यक्त करती रहेगी
    धन्यवाद
