Dreams Shattered...
The city of Mumbai, India has again been hit by a series of bomb blasts... anger, sadness and a lot of questions remain to be answered... as our hearts go out to those who lost their friends and family members...
Within a moment, in the fraction of a second
Hundreds of dreams, shattered and broken
Black smoke swallows all that we hold dear...
Several hundred lives cut short, ended
At the whim of a few mad zealots
Through blood, tears and mourning wails
We try to preserve our sanity, asking 'Why?'...
Why should innocents pay with their lives?
Is there no justice at all in this world?
Seething anger is all that remains
As we try putting the shattered pieces together...
Who are these soulless men, merchants of death?
You delve into the mind of a terrorist
Didn't he have a family, a mother, a sister, a father, a brother?
What turned him into a murderer, a bigot, a fiend?
Should we slide to their level?
Return a blast with a blast?
A Pearl Harbor with a Hiroshima?
Would that be just?
When will this blind cycle of revenge end?
Why can't we just get along...?
Questions, anger and sadness is all that remains
As we pray for the well-being of our people...
