Suicide Bomber Poem by Valsa George
Suicide Bomber
A dark figure emerged from the hide,
Like a meteor, so suddenly appeared.
Jostling the crowd, he rushed forward,
None could check his reckless move.
Nobody knew from where he came,
What his intent, none could guess,
Flames of fury burnt his brain,
Fire of passion charged his heart,
His face looked taut with hate,
Every muscle throbbed to avenge,
His eyes appeared blind with gall,
A fiery rage drove him mad.
He didn’t care what would befall,
A trifle did he price his life,
The Time Bomb ticked within his pouch,
He speeded up to the Centre stage.
Before anyone could block his deed,
Before it could be cautioned alert,
He got blasted into pieces of flesh,
Blown apart his limbs and bones.
A deadening sound shook the Hall,
Sooty smoke filled the air,
A frightful tremor boomed along,
The walls crashed down in bits and blocks.
Charred bodies lay huddled over,
Dark gore spilled all around,
Shocked men took to heels,
Panic filled, terror struck.
News was flashed within seconds,
The nation grieves the death of its Premier.
A suicide bomber took off his life,
Along with him, a hundred perished.
They died for their country’s cause,
Brave Warriors, their absence sorely missed,
The nation observes a week’s mourning,
In sad remembrance of the departed ones.
Who shall mend the loss incurred?
How long will it take to heal the wound?
Are we to shatter the Nation’s dreams?
Should we allow the folks to fall apart?
Brutal it is to take up arms,
Ungodly it is to turn to spite,
Terror can never set things aright,
Love alone can warrant peace and bliss.
An act of terror unleashed by a suicide bomber is a crime against humanity which claimed not only the life of the brain-washed bomber but lives of several innocent people. Graphic description of a tragic scene. Here is a quote: A trifle did he price his life /.....Sooty smoke filled the air / A frightful tremor boomed along /....A suicide bomber took off his life / Along with him, a hundred perished.
These suicide bombers attack even schools and kill children like me. I liked t liked this poem.

Valsa, you are a true poet. You evoke such passionate feelings and emotions through your poetry. Your imagery is so very vivid. This is truly a profound poem with soul. Should you have the time and inclination, please read my Child Soldier. I wrote it, and every time I read it, I get all choked up. Thank you.
very sad it happens in evry country..they dont care what will happen after the tragedy..do they have conscience? i guess NO.
They have arrived on our shores carried out deeds that all abhor thanks Valsa-10
Very intense and poignant message in your words of truth. A horrific side of humanity is revenge and hate, choosing to kill others by sacrificing himself. What type of being cannot reason and find a solution instead of killing? ? It's a senseless crime based on false pride and a bloated ego, what does it accomplish? Nothing. Just fills others with hate of the person who killed their loved ones. A vicious cycle is caused by killing and hatred, it does need to stop completely, giving peace and love a chance to grow. Fabulous poem on condition of our world today and all the terrorism. Excellent poem, with deep and poignant message.10++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn
