That Day

Never been there before Never seen what it had in store After today, never again Will I give it ten on ten On the score and sixth day of the eleventh month, the neighboring country's diabolical terrorists did hunt Over a hundred people in Mumbai But thankfully nine out of ten of them did die A Black Wednesday one could say But only if it had lasted a day For 120 hours the police and commandos did fight In the end, though, they did prevail Over the ones who assailed Hats off to those who did die To keep some others alive To keep the city safe and secure To face a terrorist threat no more. **I'd like to dedicate this poem to those who died fighting to free the The Taj Hotel of terrorists and to the brave people who alerted everyone of their(the terrorists') presence.
