1.
Thick pall of darkness seen around
Ruthless gunshots heard and bloodshed
Of innocent couples with helpless cries
spread;
Begging tears for mercy moved not those
bloodhounds
They reveled in shooting with savage
delight
A most dreadful shocking dark night
Resulting in most grievous loss
Transgressing bounds and Nature’s laws.
2. Blood-sodden bodies scattered here and
there
What sins have those victims done?
What spoils have these wicked creatures
won?
A very cruel act of slaughter unfair
Humanity shudders at their foul deed
Is there any noble cause seen in this
indeed?
Vicious acts gladden not gods and
justice;
Sheer dastardly acts of reckless
cowardice.
3. What glory from gods will they get?
Is gross misuse of power their creed?
Sheer violence and hate they breed
Too late for their deeds they will
regret
This
abominable heinous crime
A dark smudge on pages of Time;
So many wars and assaults in the past
Though not forgotten will not last.
Though they perpetuated so much loss
Change will happen; this too will pass.
4. What happened to destructive powers
No trace of their existence remains;
No trace of their struggles and strain;
No trace of their monumental towers
Both the slayer and the slain will fall
To Time’s grim unexpected call;
Sly, crooked means will lead to crooked
goals
Once done, their impact one cannot control.
5. Brute power coupled with hatred
Perverts knowledge in risky ways;
Causes loss of life and leads to disgrace;
Once ignited evil like wildfire spreads
Destroying self and human worth
Disturbing peace and goal of human birth
Destruction easy it seems, a transient gain
The loss of life and past glory, can we get
back again?
