(29) Fear of Terrorism

(29) Fear of terrorism
Deadly noise and squadrons emitting smoke,
Shots of fire, stealing mass and the cry of children,
Fire! Fire! Fire of hatred and gunshots,
Fire of vengeful ire, not of celestial fire,
atom bombs, blunderbuss, rifle butts,
drop like contagious spread of fever,
like eruption of epidemic and hatred dreadful
spreading like sheets of water,
fire of terror like cameramen carefully positioned,
gunmen carelessly shooting like peanuts,
annihilations of individuals and nations,
fear grips us all like elevators without power.

Hospitals stink with the decay of unresolved bodies,
when resolved only with the feel of rotten dogs on the road,
to be loaded on the corporation lorry,
why this eyesore, why this cruelty on God’s creation?
let us hold the mirror of olive branch,
on a long lasting mission of peace and good will,
let us all keep a vigil on the enemy within our self,
who is ever in ambush? Let us join the meaningful
Mission of the Messiah, “ peace for world peace,”
Instead of tearing human flesh into pieces, construct
A Dome of Peace, Bliss and Paradise.
