And We, in the smug comfort of our warm, , well fed homes, dare complain! Shame on us. Everyone should read this masterpiece
How very true! All their suffering is in this marvelous yet very sad poem.
Anywhere, Everywhere. The " safe" places are becoming scarce and rare. Wonderful poem. The words are soul driven and truly penetrate my soul.
Dreams lost in water is most beautiful. How appropriate for todays tragedies.
a very enlightening poem of the plight that is happening right now to innocent people in various places around the world.
Strong expression, heart felt. Makes us think about the need for the hour.
The saddest thing is that in my country we still have idps, our own self creation.
So thoughtful and heart touching poem about the sufferings of the people who become refugee in their own place.They are the victims of bullets both from the extremists and the security agencies for no fault of theirs.Congrats for such great write.
I don't think that the plight of these IDPS (wherever they are) could have been expressed in a more poignant way than has been done in this poem. It is bound to create a profound impact among the right thinking people anywhere in the world. Thanks.
Naseer, I really enjoyed this poem. It was a captivating piece that was not only rhythmic but also empathy driven. Bless you in your writing Naseer and keep animating life's reality with your words =] (10 stars)
This is a good poem. I have heard much about refugee camps in war-torn lands. I wrote one about the homeless in this country, a different view. Read mine – We the Unencumbered – Adeline

All the continents are confronted with such a miserable condition. Yet the mankind is not prepared to stop violence by man against man. My heart goes to the IDP'S. Congrats! For your poem I give ten marks. Poet Vadakkumpurath Ramesn
