I Reside In Conflict Torn Valley Poem by Mohammad Younus

I reside in conflict torn valley
I live in tumultuous present
I live in tormented past
I am horrified tremendously by
The nightmare about my future

I am brutally oppressed
My heart is traumatised
My spirit refusing to succumb
Fearless and determined
Boiling over for vengeance

I am all at once
Forced to live
But at the same time
Amputated inch by inch
None the less

I resist resiliently
Steadily approaching
My final destination
Of peace and freedom

Once there
Will my suppressed people
Finally find its place of honour
In the family of Free nations
