The Orlando Massacre and Afghan Tragedy

The policy of hate and date, You may not like but it’s the truth, The bitter truth mate! Was it a lone wolf terror or was it a coordinated fight? Who cares since it targeted souls Despised by night. But you are no God to legislate and Decide on fate An act that made an end, To the destiny of a foe and a friend... With no reason, In a season of hate and revenge? In Orlando like in Kabul, A score of lives fell like flies, With no respect to the being and soul, Not to dare to compare the two, You lunatic! You fool! In Orlando like in Kabul, human tokens From all sort of life dropped and stopped Thinking, stopped moving and stopped breathing, For some sick and dick, this was cool???? For others, this was a life crime! But the difference, is that in Orlando unlike in Kabul, Media and support were promptly presented and shoulders were Provided to lean and cry upon, But in Kabul you are on your own but not alone, Blood called blood and this is a twin evil To face and confront, I know that all of us are divided and different, I know for sure that our shaky unity in diversity is now compromised, But human life is worth than principles of freedom and democracy if any For sure God created Adam and eve, Nay Adam and Steve, But who cares now in this mega mall of globalised world And as the oriental dictum goes, each sheep is hanged by its leg And on its own, And now you have all your time to grief cry and moan, With your clan and tribe and even on your own, Your acts reflect your thought, Or maybe your act translates you hate, Reflects you vision, your own vision, That is your mission, Terror calls terror and an eye for an eye is still on, Reflecting an old Judaeo-Christian, then a Muslim law, To celebrate hate at dawn It’s your shared [Onus!] Your shared fault, And now you are harvesting together, It’s now you shared a bonus, Some of you still on the divine ship Some of you still worshiping in deep, You name Torah, Psalms, Bible and the Quran, But some of you are still faithful to the [Cronus!]
