DISCRIMINATION,

AND KASHMIR IS

BURNING,

............................

I am thinking should take chance,

Chance for this contest,

Why should I ?

When discrimination stands there,

Is it not there ,

They can show fear,

Once I thought there was no discrimination

in the world,

All nations are equal,

As I looked at the world was so differend,

All I find materialistic,

My Nation Kashmir is poor

not there oil treaure,

People are helpless,

Crying for brith right,

Right of self determination,

Under UN promise is pending,

I try to speak loud,

But discrimination is there,

Will they allow me enter

this contest,
