Subodh Sarkar (India)

​Two Fires
 
Here, every child is scared to play
Here, every squirrel has a bullet-proof home
Here, every old man wants to commit suicide
there is no difference between a soldier and a man
No difference between the killer and the killed
Both are poor, both are hungry both are tortured.

Poets of India, can you walk between two fires?
