Wear your solidarity!


We all are probably suffering from myopia; a situation where things are happening right in front of our eyes but we can't see them- the image is too blurred like its been smeared all around the canvas. We all have become immune to feelings, emotions, and everything related. Just because we had enough. We suffered. We saw the most harsh of the harsh times. Our spirits were enchained in this network of chicanery by the heartless demagogues. We were badly manipulated. Our brothers were doomed to hell in front of our eyes. We were made homeless. We longed to see that one smile pervade through our children faces, giving them a new hope- a hope for a better tomorrow . We were shown the false hopes of a bright future that would change our lives. And it did happen. But only in a negative way. We became the puppets of the foreign intruders who laughed through our misery.

We were hit by the fierce waves that crashed our seashores. The rain of hopelessness showered on us through many years. And we remained silent. We remained silent. And we endured that. We never complained. Our lands were dyed with red for years. And we silently, quietly, honored our martyrs. Still for a better future. We were cursed. We were seen as thieves. Despite of the fact that our own families were looted. Our children were made orphans. And our women were to live an eerie life. But again we moved on.

Our dreams were crashed by the guns and bombs of our very own friends, and still we greeted them with roses. We made them cherish in our land. We let them rule over our people. Because we are still strong. The last year, our families slept hungry, because they didn't have anything to eat. We saw our children cry with hunger and pain. And still we couldn't do anything. We taught them one word yet again- Hope.

Now that we are totally annihilated and destroyed. We have been completely burned by the savage flames who's marks will take infinite time to heal. And that the gusts of disappointing black jinxed wind have totally blown us away. We still stand there. From the place we started this wonderful journey. From where it all begin. We have gone 63 years back. After the complete destruction now it's time for us to stand up again.

We have seen all of it and felt it even more. We have gone all along this labyrinth and came across the worst of the worst creatures, who destroyed our everything. But now we stand here again, starting it from all over again. We have a new life, a new spirit, a new energy. But this time we stand with an extra advantage that we hadn't ever before. An experience. A journey through the darkness that has made us strong enough to defeat any of those ghosts that ll come in our way.

We just need to gather the shattered pieces, put them together. Wear your solidarity. And start the game again. We have been through everything. Now its time for the bright sun to spread its brightness and warmth all around and dye the world with its colours. Its time everyone gets treatment for our myopia's. Its time to open our eyes. To do something we have never done before! Three, Two, One, Lets Start!
