A Suicide Bomber

Rating: 3.9


A suicide bomber (1)


I am suicide bomber
Here is my tale
-
You often say
I am for sale
With just money
You can avail
And hire my services
For destruction and to derail
-
Smooth running matter
Make my soul rattle
They always batter
Me like a battle
I kill human
As Butcher cattle
-
Who is at back?
That makes me rake
The rocks I slake
White and black
Men of god
I kill and track
-
Do such harm
As have been never done
I eat people
As you eat bun
I know I
Will be no more
But you also can not run






A suicide bomber (2)
Why I choose the evil side
Why can I not choose to avoid
In my mind and in my eyes
There are many what’s and many whys
Make me importune to at once rise
-
One word exploitation I say
Even in the words of your pray
Hypocrisy deep in your heart lay
-
Why I am poor and devoid
Of even bread and am deride
By those people who have cried
-

Do you not know why a hen
Become bold and fight then
A cat snatches a chick when
-
My siblings died for reason what
And their breaths why were shut
Why cat caught and why they gut
-
Among my people happy I was
Unjust dealings and undue laws
Became the effect and its cause
-

My dear now you should decide
Am I right or false way reside
Is it easy to commit suicide?

Mislead and misguided..as those who do the misguiding and misleading..live to see another day. No scriptural writings or religious faith advocates the killing of innocents. Innocents cannot be condemned by virtue of their birth place or hue. If it is so noble a cause, then then those who misguide and mis lead should blow themselves up! Indeed merit is in overcoming, merit is in making a positive difference for a better tomorrow and a better way! Suicide is an option and never the right one! They need to wake up and resonate positively!

Suicide bombers are wimps and cowards who kill indiscriminately the innocent. It takes no courage to blow oneself up. It takes courage to stand up and defend life.

A suicide bomber is a weapon for cowards, who cannot stand and fight the war straight. No religion advocates killing innocent people for the promotion of religion. It is a misguided fanatic who takes such an extreme step to kill himself while killing others. What does he or his religion gain by this? A well timed poem in the present context of the disturbed world.
