The saddest thing is that in my country we still have idps, our own self creation.

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.

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

From: Vp Ramesan (India ;) To: Naseer Ahmed Nasir Date Time: 1/26/2010 11: 40: 00 PM (GMT -6: 00) Subject: comments Dear Naseer, Your poem 'IDP'S' narrates the chaos and pathos as well as trials and turbulations of the internally displaced human beings. 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
