Barbed wires and fences

                                 
I’m  a person who believes in nature , who believes that nature has made this world for me  and nature wants me to walk, roam ,run around this world ,nature wants me to see  its beauty, nature wants  me to applaud its creations  and i want to.

I was not the one who divided the land ,I was not the one killed someone for the land, I was not the one who snatched my  own right to walk freely and I was not the one who made countries and killed my own beloved nature and stabbed him with barbed wires and fences .

My father told me an incident from his life when being in paramilitary force he was posted in the jungles of Maharashtra looking out for the betterment of people living in that jungle. The jungle was surrounded by Naxalites who started their movement for the farmers and ended up making it a business for their own life. He told me about a village of the jungle he was posted in that  people living in the village have never even crossed a boundary of 10kms in their whole life because naxalites will kill them if they will try to cross the jungle. Life is just too short for them to live and yet they have to bear it long, money is just paper for them cause they don’t have a place to spend it.  Just imagine a life where you can’t go past 10kms in whole of your life, no education, no books, no school, no college, no electricity, no fate, just eat rice & chicken just live as dead you were and then die again.

I cried deep inside me after my father told me the incident, i felt someone pointing a gun at me telling me to run away and to be never seen again or will be shot down if I’ll try to cross those 10kms of my life. What permission do I need to go to a place on my own earth, what permission do I need to cross these man made fences? 

Barbed wires and fences just make me depress,   and they do no good me, not to you, not to anybody else. They tells me that how small I am and pity on me that i am not doing anything to make the world realise that being proud of one’s country is useless where in a world everything can be yours, make them imagine how beautiful this world can be without barbed wires and fences, imagine roaming freely around the world without anyone’s permission, where no one can stop you.  It’s not life which make someone cruel it is the person itself, nature gave us emotions don’t just kill it with practicality……………live, breathe, roam, laugh and see how beautiful this world, we don’t need anyone to start with cause some things are meant to start alone.
