Hina Taufiq's poem on the sad event of 16th December Peshawar Massacre

Enough with the killings,

Enough with the bloodshed,

Enough with the suicidal,

Enough with the pain,

What can we do to stop this bloody revenge game?

What can we do to spread love & happiness?

What can we do to make Pakistan a safe haven, a peaceful country once again?

Neither am I a mother, nor am I a relative of the children who lost their precious lives in the Peshawar’s tragic incident,

I’m just a human, who can feel the pain,

I’m just a writer expressing my sorrow through the power of my pen.

16^th December is now an even more mournful day for us all,

It’s time to change things around, Raise our voice and fight the evil,

Before more humans die and bodies fall.

Watch the innocent get killed and let this go on forever,

Or, stand up, speak now and say no to killings, be it today, or ever.

Let’s leave our differences behind and unite as one,

Before another brutal act of killing is done,

Our oneness is our strength,

Our weapon to fight successfully till the end

It’s the way to defeat the enemies of peace, conquer and win,

So, wait no more, come together, become a true example of unity, faith and discipline.
