The Envoy's Confession

For over 20 years, they denied presence of the most wanted fugitive on their soil

Despite clinching evidence, years of sustained diplomatic pressure and hard toil

But now as the recent border killings threaten to throw the peace talks off the boil

Their envoy made a desperate peace overture, disregarding all possible turmoil

He admitted the fugitive had been living in their country, but had been chased out

An unconvincing statement that raised a lot of questions and led to many a doubt

They thought an out of the blue confession would give the world community a jolt

But isn't it obvious that they raised the alarm long after allowing the horse to bolt?

The Mirage of Peace

Even as the Prime Ministers of the neighbours are all set to meet for bilateral talks
Their army continues mischief on the borders and keeps giving us periodic shocks

Their government says that the peace process should be put back on tracks
But allows their army to collaborate with terrorists to launch such attacks

In the bilateral relations, they say that mutual mistrust has widened the crack
And harp at every opportunity that normalcy in relations should be brought back

But history suggests that serious intent to deal with the real issues is what they lack
So after shaking hands and smiling for cameras, they always stab us in the back!
