I am an insecure 'man' Man coming from an insignificant 'land' Land filled with falsely accused 'people' People who you claim have ‘manipulated’, ‘manufactured’, ‘Pakistani identity’ Identity that has now our curse Curse that we were born there as Muslims Muslim, I believe that's where the problem lies Lies that you have constructed stating that we are not you You... It has all just become about you You, just you have the right to dream Dreams have now become a privilege Privilege that I don't have, we, collectively don't have there as people People from land I come just have will Will that just needs a kick to be shattered Shattered are our hopes Hopes of not having our kids blinded Blinded were thousands Thousands more have been killed Killed merciless by your army, later their families by the words of your media Media has made us your enemy Enemy for us now is your army Army All I have for you is silence . . . . Silence .... All I have for you is silence Silence Just silence And more silence Till that silence reverberates in your head, till your conscience cries out for mercy Mercy that we have been denied Denied has been the right to dignity Dignity of those you raped in Kunan Poshpura So dear army, let me get this straight I have been sitting in that corner, crying dead for long just like my martyred brother and sisters Tufail Andleeb Nilofer Zahid And countless others whose name Faces And ages you would never know But today, I won’t remain silent I will rise, I will rise, I will rise And I will fight I will fight With my fist up high And a stone in my hand, aiming directly towards you Which I am sure you will kill me for And then label me as a Pakistan influenced jihadi And the bunch of 8 year olds and 10 year olds you will kill alongside you will be call them ”collateral damage" Sometimes even worse "Pakistan's child soldiers" But when we die, We rest in our graves, all we will have for you again will be silence And more silence Just silence Till that silence The noise of it Makes you cry out for mercy Just like we have
