Terrorism

Another attack, the same fate
its intensity how do you rate?
so much bloodshed, so many tears
wholl console the baby who cries is fear?
so much terror, but what is the goal?
every soul is again left with another hole
the tears have stopped
the eyes are dry
the voice is dead
no one heard the cry
the spirit of mumbai has been crushed
the last terrorist is yet to be flushed
blame game has begun
emotions and remorse, the terrorists have shunned
and heartless they shot killing them all
heartless the politicans rave on,
killing whats left of us all
united we were to stand
shinning in splendour
broken we are
crying over politicans blunder
dont give us promises of a better life
when the life we have is under the knife
dont give us hopes of a better tomorrow
when we are yet to overcome yesterdays sorrow
dont give us facts about the terrorists religion
when we all just want to look at the bigger vision
please Mr politican, please Mr terrorist
fight between equals dont bring us amidst
killing innocent in the name of god
using innocents death for the name of politics
where did the love go, where is humanity hiding?
we did what you said, we were abiding..
the questions are endless, the answers none
in the battle between love and hate
alas! it seems hate won
it seems hate won
it seems hate won

Phew! Blew me away that one!

Truly mindblowing - on the poetry
& really heartfelt - brought the pain back on, which was slowly but surely leaving with the passage of time!

Keep writing gal. :)
