Eternal Hiding

by Ananya S. Guha / July 31st, 2016

In Kashmir Valley,
You are the soldier
I am the gun
You are man,
I am woman
You are the child
I am mild
You are the gun man
I am the con man
You are the beast
I am the animal
You are the saint
I am the devil
You are the evil
I am the good
You are the valley
I am the mountain
You are the lake
I am the water flake
So descend
You are the terrorist
I am the army man
You in camouflage
Me in eternal hiding.
