What Happened That Day

What happened that day
26th of November – a Wednesday
the day when Mumbai was turned upside down
and terrorists blowed up the entire town
men, women, children – none did they spare
and the politicians – did they care??
bobs were blasted, bullets – fired
but the terrorists weren’t tired
many a hundred men died
and others who lived – cried
peace came soon after
but for a long time, there was no laughter
and though the wounds inflicted on the taj will soon disappear
one thing is crystal clear
till the time we begin to live as one
only one thing can govern us – the gun…

Past of War

As they fight it grows and grows,
Wondering who is next to go.
Crying as the bloodshed flows,
He is afraid now that he is all alone.
