Decade of tears


They stood there,at ground zero,
mourning those souls who hadn't erred.
Those were innocent people.
Young and old.Black and white.
They never waged a war.

Is it fair, to take innocent lives,
for inducing terror, or for making a point,
Is it fair, to punish people,
for someone else's greed.
The answer is no.

 Those responsible, should be hanged.
No, that would be far too easy.
Slow poison may be,
or a revengeful beheading.

We need to tell their brothers,
that we can kill too.

An eye for an eye,
would make the world blind.
But at least, that blind world,
would be fair.

Remember, remember, eleventh of September.


RIP

why can't we stop them rather than punishing them ?

yess..they should be severely punished..but they are disguised in various forms...and at positions and levels with connec.tions so strong that we commoners cant even imagine...the core of the issue lies in finding out these disguised personalities

@Nikhil

Because this hardliners do not understand the word PEACE.

And when i see hundreds of people at ground zero overwhelmed with tears even after 10 years, I start to believe that vengeance is fair and justified.
