These Serial Bomb Blasts Poem by Chhavi Anupam

These Serial Bomb Blasts

There is something
drastically wrong
somewhere,

something wrong
with the air
we breathe in,

something wrong
with the soil
we walk on,

something wrong
with the education
we receive,

jobs we do
culture we live in
something wrong.

Because I cannot
believe that
serial bomb-blasts

In jubilant Jaipur
beautiful Bangalore
and amiable Ahemadabad

...were deeds of humans.
Tell me I'll believe
Planet earth

has been invaded
by Satanic forces
...descending from nowhere,
.
who rejoice at the
sight of blood
devastation death

of innocent fools
...their crime
..they are simple citizens,

blown into splinters
for being just there
.. that day on the street,

.....when the blasts ocurred..

Tell me which
is that heart
which will not bleed

at the sight of a child
suffering
squealing in Burns ward

that night after the blasts.

But beware
terror-traders
you are pushing the Planet

.....towards a holocaust,
where neither you
nor we stupid fools

will remain to clap or cheer!
