This poem is dedicated to the children of Tribal areas who have lost their loved ones in Drone Attacks !!!
I stand here in the dark alley
Waiting for you …
My eyes … still search you
You promised you will be back by the sunset
That night set
The next night set
That week set
Its been a month now
I stand here in the dark alleyWaiting for you …
My eyes … still search you
You promised you will be back by the sunset
That night set
The next night set
That week set
Its been a month now
Waiting for you …
They say that you wont return
They say you died in the drone attack
The say Militants murdered you
They keep saying but
I know you never break your promise
So That’s Why …
I stand here in the dark alley
Waiting for you …
I know you must have been lost
Stranded …
Somewhere …
I know you will come back
And embrace me in your arms
Yours ever loving naughty girl
Who still … Stands here in the dark alley
Waiting for you …
