Savage separation by Muhammad Umar Zahir

I think the decision was right.
There should be a place you can call home.
Its really hard.
The sun beats down on you
while your blistered feet were throbbing in pain.
Its difficult living in these conditions.
This has been the hardest part in life.
Being separated from my mother and
brother
has made me think there is no point living.
We think our mother and brother
have been living with her family
Her being away from us make us
devasted.
We eat anything we can,
mostly berries and fruits
occasionally chicken
If we can build a fire.
The partition is a good suggestion
but it is happening in a cruel way.
