Tale Of A War Widow Poem by Dr. Yogesh Sharma

She was very poor,
She has nothing to eat and drink,
Her brave husband,
Was killed in the Kashmir valley,
Braving for the unity and honor of the nation.

The traders of blood, wrote a tribute on a stone,
Mocking his martyrdom,
But there was no one to wipe her tears.
Her father and brother were
Butchered by the government agents
As they had no money to bribe them.

Her children died unemployed
As they were meritorious and honest.
Vultures made a film about them,
To entertain the world and win laurels and laugh.
Their photographs can be seen,
At an art exhibition in Delhi.

Then the president gave a certificate,
To laugh at her pain,
Still she was very poor,
She was the widow of a warrior,
Not a vote bank..
