Remembering the Martyrs...Mumbai Terror Attack 26/11
[Hotel Taj Mahal, Mumbai; Picture Credit:Internet, Edited by Anukriti Sharma]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!

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!

Chaos, crime and confusion...
Lack of cultural diffusion!
The sea has turned eternally red!
Every God is lost and dead.
