Burning the heart and burning the soul
Tragedies befall when terror takes its toll.
Tears stop rolling but humanity cries
When marring the emotions; cruelty and hatred rise.
Deep under the grave happiness lies asleep
Seeing the wounds even the mountains weep.
In the name of God one kills the other
(With) those blood smeared hands then offers prayer.
'We' the human beings are shameless enough
To hide our sins under the religious turf.
Still "Hope" lingers everywhere around
New dreams reap from the blood stained ground.
One day, only love and peace will rule every heart
Let all of us unite and make a new start.
Lighting a candle my heart prays for the departed souls
May its light burn every evil that our hearts hold.

ReplyDeleteHello Preety sis;
ReplyDeleteMy heart leap for joy because you are back and the message i sent you over mail, forget about it coz i want your template to stay in my place.
Your message is so apt as this is still a stage of recovering esp those families of victims of the then heinous crimes that happened a year back in Mumbai attacks.
Preety, please come back and stay for good here...I miss you, everyone of your friends misses you!
Have a nice day!
Love and hugs!
Amity
