The Terrorist Poem by Savita Tyagi
The Terrorist
The terrorist - Raktabeej* malicious
Born of his own spilled blood -
In wicked human minds, devoid
Of humane and pious virtues,
Respects no boundaries and
Recognizes no barriers in cruelty.
A terrorist has no religion, no creed
No nationality, no caste and no heart.
Harbinger of poisonous ideology,
Masked with countless identities,
It's an acid thrown with vengeance,
From unmarked hands upon decency.
He tramples upon nobility of thought,
Rooted in human mind that nurtures
Instinct of freedom and compassion.
He longs to extinguish the light that
Embraces the art and literature to breathe
Life upon altar where love is worshiped.
Let us protect the light of altruism
That burns in millions of kindred hearts,
From a much despised ruthless invader.
Let us allow wisdom to block the terror,
To rise in solidarity with like minds,
Invincible and strong like a solid rock.
* Raktabeej was an Asura (demon) . His story is narrated in Ancient Sanskrit book 'Devi Mahatamyam'.
The ebook is available through Amazon. com. to down load. Below is little more information about it.

We can be proud that we could voice our indignation on a topic that poses a real threat to world peace namely TERRORISM........ When thinking minds give out their anxiety over how terrorism can create anarchy to the world and highlight the need for a peaceful tomorrow, it will definitely create at least some ripples in the minds of many! Evil should be shunned by all and there should be a mass move to ward off terrorism. Let the world realize that 'Peace hath her victories, no less renowned than war'! Without blood shed we can wage wars against poverty, disease and unemployment and our conquest over them brings peace to mankind. This poem denouncing terrorism is quite powerful Savita! The initiative taken by Dr. Fabrizio Frosini to bring out such a book is to be congratulated and I am happy, I too could voice my protest against Terrorism through a poem and be a humble contributor to that ebook.

Life upon alter where love is worshiped. .........hmm. i think you want altar (noun) , not alter (verb) here. i guess speaking out against terrorism does not hurt, but without action (the military, the police, the improvement of lives of those who may be lured into terrorism, and mental health programs) terrorism will continue. and perhaps with all the forces available, terrorism will continue, be it by a large organized group or by individuals acting on their own. i'll stick this into AUGUST'S 2016 showcase for PH poets, on my site. thanks. bri :)
Thanks Bri for your realistic comment. Even if we can't eliminate the problems of violence, terrorism or wars, still doing our best to get some relief from it is the least that we can do. Thanks for catching the mistake on alter. I will fix it to altar.
