Spontaneous Combustion

a poem by Karan

I’ve cut myself from the world outside
No one really cares you don’t live here you’ve died
Laugh to frown, mild to wild
Roamed these streets since I was a child

No you don’t know how it feels
Sleeping on stones, ice for your meals
You’re a stranger among your friends
I can see you through the glass but we’re at impenetrable ends

Separated by a boundary of hate
Governments fight, our line of fate
But that’s not how Mr.Everyone would like to see
And all the chances we’ve failed to seize
There aren’t any boundaries when we talk of peace
Dreams left aside for the times of ease
That`s not how the boy of Kashmir feels

No you don’t know how it feels
Sleeping on stones, ice for your meals
You’re a stranger among your friends
I can see you through the glass but we’re at impenetrable ends
