Howling sirens
Terrible dark clouds
Pillaged Rain
Signal that the sky was crying
Evil Sky!
Hiding behind clouds
Ashamed
At the first light of
6 january 1993
Mark of baba yousuf lane
Inception of their bane
Hushed Town
There was crackdown
A single Gunshot
Apple town turned blot
94th battalion went on rampage
butchered 57 civilians
pumped bullet into the bodies
Dragged mercilessly
The men were lashed
JKY-1901 Driver out
passengers shootout
Wailing aloud
Shootings everywhere
48 faced down in the mud
Inside the four corners of this town
Snow meltdown
One bullet left them dead
the blood they bled
Left the ground stained red
9 burnt alive
Seeing the flames
Ashes deprive
Souls burnt
Hearts died
Apple town cried
Torched buildings
Living debased
Massacre quoted as Farce
News hitted home
Looked into my mothers eyes
She was searching for a dad with a smile
Looked into my sisters eyes
She was stitching Dad’s torn clothes that night
Looked into my Brothers eyes
He was lifting the Coffin of Dad
Looking into mine
They wanted HIM Back
_I lost my heaven
Rabia Kirmani
