Terror strikes and ambush seems to hover
Peace looks like has gone under cover
Death and blood fill the streets vastly
Painting an image utterly ghastly
Humanity has become a euphemism
Owing to the acts of terrorism
No protoplasm is spared
Hope and faith are despaired
How can one look deep into the eyes of innocence and yet have the heart to open fire
Will they ever feel the wrath and devastating pain the kith and kin felt while lighting the pyre?
Pen is mightier than a sword they preached
The Paris attack has fortified this eventually letting their satire and humor get leached
Blasphemous acts and killing in the name of religion
Followed by cajoling the aftermath by pretentious feats, promising peace and releasing a pigeon
We fail to understand the true essence of RELIGION as we claim its archaic and weary
Then on what grounds do we argue and justify our understandings, is my query?
Oh! How many such horrifying incidents do I quote?
It is as vast as an ocean and deep enough to drown a large boat
Will we ever get to live in a peaceful state ?
Wiping out terror and hatred and start over as a clean slate
Do we have enough valor in us to even make an honest attempt
To come up with a solution and strive en masse sans any contempt
