Here is one by Dinesh Adhikari
The Other Side to Belief
1. Settlement after settlement has been razed by neutron blasts
All greenery has wilted
The peacocks have stopped dancing
Springtime is wailing
Haven?t you gone mad even now?
If not
I must believe you?ve lost your head
2. Things are so far gone now
with each new birth a martyr is born
a funeral procession is born
a shroud is born
You?re seeing all this, aren?t you?
In its first few hours
that baby there
is being deprived of his mother?s lap
is being deprived of his mother?s breast
on charges of treason against the nation
Your eyes haven?t yet moistened?
If not
I must believe you?ve lost your heart
3. Vying to extend the boundaries of nations
giving up their own shelters
giving up the mouthfuls they had gathered
people have gone to live as refugees
east/west/in all directions
uncertain/aimless
The act of suicide banned by law
has proved inevitable in practice
The Bhandarkhal massacre is repeating
The Kot massacre is on the way to reviving
What, haven?t you gone mad even now?
If not
I must believe you?ve lost your head
