LETTER OF AN APS MARTYR TO HIS PARENTS
16.12.15
Dear Mom
& Dad,
I never knew
education was a crime,
until it
dawned upon us on December 16.
But rest
assured that Heaven just feels fine,
where everyone
is happy and souls clean.
For all my
friends that I helped escape,
I felt a
surge of victory.
although I
paid the price with life,
the pain was
ephemeral and transitory.
It hurt for a
while,
as I lay sprawled
across the floor.
But the very
thought of you made me smile,
and forget
the agony till its core.
And that was
my last message for you,
as we
exchanged our final goodbyes.
Let go of my
uniform stained in crimson hue,
for the sake
of your own drying eyes!
I’m sorry to
have left you so soon,
that resulted
in such a spacious vacuum!
I come to
meet you every day,
and to say
goodbye in another way …
Today as the
nation holds us in remembrance,
let them know
that some stains are there to stay.
They should
retaliate with the same perseverance,
lest the
ignorant few are led astray!
I know you grieve
with each breath you take,
I only
thought of you with each breath the left!
In your heart
I shall live forever,
Until we meet
in another world …
Your Loving
Son!
Wow Hiba. That's heart touching indeed. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by, A.Jay. Apologies for the late reply as I somehow missed on this comment.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, every time I think about these kids, I fail to understand how anyone could have possibly done what was done to them.
Lovely post thanks for posting.
