Tell Me Poem by Mehreen Mujeeb

I wonder what lies behind those eyes
Those eyes filled with terror
Those eyes whose hands launch bombs through the skies.

No man is contented
Hearing screams of innocence
No man gains
Through eradicating difference
Why do those eyes want to kill so desperately?
Causing terror to those who have not wronged anybody.

Oh those eyes
If there is a reason
Tell me why
Rather than showing your consequences
Tell me the reason you force innocence to plead goodbye.
