From Celebration To Mourning Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

If you kill a person
Slitting throat with knife
or by gun firing
you will be booked under
a non-bailable clause of law
But if you kill a dozen people
Hitting by a car
It will be treated as an accident
And you will get the bail within hour
Generally it happens frequently
In political killing
And in underworld network
It's very old tactics of terror.

Now a terrorist killed 84 people
And injured about 188
At Mediterranean in Nice, France
screaming revellers
When they were celebrating national day
to commemorate the storming
of the Bastille
The success of the French revolution
Led to the 'Reign of terror'
As over 40,000 people were executed.

A terrorist, Tunisian origin
used no gun, no bullet
But a monster truck
He ploughed it into the crowd
And drove through the crowed for 2 km
It is the 10th terrorist attack on France
With different type of terror
It's not new... the old tactics
They destroyed the twin tower
In similar manner
Hitting by hijacked planes.
