Open Secret

Do you know who the father of terrorism is?
Do you know who the mother of terrorism is?
Do you know who mentors the terrorists?
Do you know who shields the terrorists?

Surely, you know it all; surely, you know history!
For you are the "peace-loving" American!
For you are the "freedom-loving" Saudi Arabian!
For you are the "cricket-loving" Pakistani!
For you are the "democracy-loving" Chinese!

We, too, are aware of all their conspiracies—
For we are the blood-stained citizens of a world victimized by terror!

This hidden game is an Open Secret!
