Remembering the Martyrs...Mumbai Terror Attack 26/11

[Hotel Taj Mahal, Mumbai; Picture Credit:Internet, Edited by Anukriti Sharma]
Yellowed pages of a book...
Hatred lies in every nook.
Like petals of withered flowers;
Darkness envelopes Mumbai for 59 hours.
Tears devoid of all pain...
These clouds refuse to rain!
Beautiful eyes veiled in hate...
Love that can only suffocate!

[Hotel Taj Mahal; Picture clicked by Anukriti Sharma]

The flames are silent...
Peace is violent...
The tears are frozen....
Death instead is chosen...

Terrorists attack Oberoi Trident and Taj Mahal Hotel,
Helpless people lifelessly bid the world farewell!
Nariman House, Vile Parle, Napean Sea Road...
Under the sieges of bombings explode...
Cama Hospital, Leopold Cafe, Mazgaon, CST...
Broken walls and struggling lives form a deadened debris!

Thousands injured, hundreds dead...
Dead bodies form a human pyramid!
The innocent have died...

Leaving their shadows behind!

The bodies need a place to bury...
Bullets and bombings consumes them in fury!
Their ashes are gathered and collected...
Though their souls are eternally rejected!
Hatred, anger, greed and desire...
Ignites in terrorists a corrupt fire!

Karkare, Kamte, Salaskar...martyrs of the attack...
Can anything ever bring their lives back?
Uniformed men, civilians and hotel staff fight,
Against the hatred that these terrorists ignite...
NSG commandos, ATS officials and policemen,
Fight for our lives against those ''Ten''!

Terrorists, LeT and Kasab still live on...

Though Unnikrishnan is dead and gone!

No place to love, no place to live in,

Life itself has become a sin!

Death instead finds solace...

Defaced forever is our face!

Faces splattered with blood...

War has found a New World!

Shards of old glass bangles,

This world lies in tangles!

Abandoned streets, Stinking little alleys...

Terrorism now lies beyond the valleys!

[Bullet Shot, Leopold Cafe, Clicked by Anukriti Sharma]

Chaos, crime and confusion...

Lack of cultural diffusion!

The sea has turned eternally red!

Every God is lost and dead.

Mumbai Terror Attack - Allegory of Abhorrence and Annihilation


As I close my eyes to sleep flashes of gory blood, dark fire, parched tears and malformed bodies oscillate in my mind and forces me to wake up... The cacophony of relentless bombardments hammers in my head! 59 hours of cruel, compassionless, callous killings... hatred, anger and pain transfused with detestation and death! 1407 kms away, I as an Indian and an individual feel vulnerably infirm, devastated, disabled and enraged! 15 hours in front of the television and newspapers made me realize just one thing-the horror of terrorism has left all of us completely insecure and wobbly! All of us have become insignificantly anonymous - yes, I am talking about you and me! Politicians blabber about taking action! What sort of action are these people talking about? Pronouncing a few verbs and adjectives and doing nothing about terrorism will not help anymore! Its time we as Indians ally against terrorism, since we are the sole victims!How many more innocent lives will be lost? For how long can we tolerate such injustice and infringement?
My heartfelt condolence to all the martyrs and heroes and my sincere tribute to all the people who went through this traumatic attack...
Mumbai 26/11/08 - 29/11/08 is the wake up call for us!
