Harmony
T’was another day;
Happy and gay;
Few from different cities;
Few from different countries,
Reunions and conferences and get-together
Were just a few reasons to be there?
It was another evening and a tiring day.
Back to the Taj; where I stayed.
Until…..
Alas!!!
I heard deafening sounds
Shaken and helpless;
Wondering what transpired.
Run!!! Run!!!
Numerous screamed!
Ignorant of the circumstances,
Countless stirred here and there
They were hooligans; they were inhuman;
Bullet, grenade, bomb was all they knew.
Firing at the innocent;
From different facets of life;
Banker, journalist,
Senior officials were just a few.
Then came the heroes;
Few from the roof;
Few already striking those heartless.
Men and women; Old and young
No religion and no racism.
United were all.
Praying for the near and dear.
While most of us were saved;
There were so many who were dead.
Kudos to those heroes who fought!
And boo to those who took the lives of many.
Depressing and disheartening;
Was the behavior of these merciless inhabitants?
Who are they and Why are they here?
Lets all stand united.
Destroy the hardhearted;
Peace be with all;
Let’s fight against terrorism.
