Mother tongue

Our army lost the battle ,
and we lost the hope ,
of getting freed from this dominated sole ,
letter came from new land ,
the use of our mother tongue was fully banned ,
new teachers were appointed in schools ,
it seems that life has stopped at some spot .
My family planned to shift at new place ,
but has fear to got catched ,
i was planning to leave ,
but was afraid to be punished .
That day with all struggle we shifted to a dark room ,
it has no windows and even no moons ,
it is like we ourselves packed us in a air tight container.
I was sitting and thinking about past few days,
and suddenly noticed a pigeon who was singing sitting on opposite ends,
one painful thought suddenly shaked my soul ,
that will they make this pigeon also to sing in their language.
