EARTHBORNE ONLINE POETRY MAGAZINE

The pandora box of terrorism and a world spinning on its head

For our choice of dying which is a better death

From terrorism or as collateral damage

Either way if you notice

The dead invariably stay dead

 

Watching, waiting Gods, please look away

Show some patience, hold Your say

Wait till Your judgement day

Unless

We the chosen ones

You are confusing with angels

Lest You forget

We are not done killing our own

Not just yet

 

Whatever happened to kindness

The good old goodness

Thoughtfulness

Why is bitter the new norm

Where are the Mandelas, the Gandhis of this century

Fourteen years in, we are waiting, and so is history

Can you step forward and make yourself known

Before we ruin it all, before it’s all gone

 

These crazy proxy modern wars

With people dying on all sides

Some not knowing why or for what cause

If killing would make the world safer somehow

Wouldn’t this be a very safe planet by now

If wars were the solution

Where is the “lived happily ever after” conclusion.
