Am I responsible?

Encountered a feeling

Of fear and guilt

Together

How can I live a normal life

When my people

Are suffering

Never seems that

We all are mentally

Disturbed

I am mentally disturbed

How come humans

Be so dreadful

How come?

I believed in humanity

When my people were dying

I believed in mankind

When we all were

Curtailed for a long

Very long time

I believed in kindness

And neglected all the atrocities

When a 16 year old was trashed

And crushed under a  vehicle

By a human

Is it?

Is it a way to live

Felt it from very near

I was present there

I have not seen myself

In such a pain

And guilt of being

A human

I am not able to

Say,

What my soul is feeling

Is it sadness, or anger

Or Am I guilty

It happened many times before

When my heart was throbbing

With extreme agony

Above everything,

They neglected it

Showed like nothing happened

And blamed us

Blamed me

For doing all this

Am I responsible for it

Am I accountable for the

Weapons they use

To make my future dark

To crush my dreams under

A vehicle of

So called humans

Am I responsible?

Or should I write,

A citizen of kashmir, an integral part of India?
