I Reject Forced Occupation of Kashmir. I am in chains, I   have been locked. I am Gaza, I am Kashmir. My days are dark, my nights horrific. My sunshine is dim, my rain poisonous. My happiness has been grilled, my people tortured. I am Gaza, I am Kashmir. Look at me and see how bruised I am today. I have been forced to kneel at the brutal decree of my tyrants. My women are weeping, my men in jails. My children are orphans and my youth helpless. I am Gaza, I am Kashmir. My tyrants have sealed my lips, choked my voice. They have fastened my hands with iron wires. They can never get me, nor my resources. Because I am Gaza, I am Kashmir.                                                  Sumera B. Reshi
