What First? ....... Poem by Angelina Pandian
What First? .......
[In response to Asma Bahrainwala’s - Terrorism (A Tanka) ]
It is not that we don’t care
But, as long as we have
To deal with and curb terrorism
Spend on issues of public safety
Fund the Army & National Defence
Maintain Special Forces etc
How can we eradicate
Poverty spend on malnutrition
Disease and illiteracy
If we are not alive?
Out with terrorism and war first
Then all else will come to rest!
i am there with you...no mercy toward terror...crush it to the core...........
i too feel spending on military, defence and all of these to be a waste...terrorism cannot be curbed with just these...genuinity in the intent should be there fist..and that is not at all there..all the terrorist factions are one time or the other associated with our politicians..to me 'what fist' would be only genuinity...thanks for this thought provoker

This is an exceptionally well written and expressed poem, Angelina, and one that makes great common sense. If somehow the consant threat of terrorism could be eradicated, as well as the potential threat of wars between neighbors and nations, and peace could reign, I think many of any nation's economic and people problems can at least be eased. There will always be poor and starving people, but in peace, most nations can find a way to bring aid and comfort to them. If they do, all of mankind will be the better for it. Carl.
