TERRORISM!!

Terrorism!!

We look at the daily newspapers and gasp,
Seeing the rise of terrorism in our country,
We keep blaming the politicians, the system,
But do we ever contemplate, do we ever think,
Do we ever reflect and try and find a reason,

Is it always necessary to transgress,
Is it unavoidable to go astray,
To achieve fame, name and success,
Is it necessary to give in,
To powerful people and commit a sin,

Is it compulsory to give others’ sorrow,
Just because by that we can have a better tomorrow,
We fall prey to easy money,
We commit crime in haste,
But for once, can’t we think pure and chaste,

These influential men tell us lies and give us false hope,
They destroy our conscience, brainwash us,
And compel us to do their dirty work,
And our actions follow their orders,
Though deep inside we know, it doesn’t make sense,

Who are they to teach us how to live,
Just a bunch of corrupt, anti-social minds,
We betray innocent brothers and sisters,
Do we have an answer to give,
To God, to justify our insane actions,

We trust strangers far too easily,
But we always oppose our well-wishers and family,
Right from childhood, we are repeatedly given one advice,
Before we act, we must always think twice,
But those words go in vain, yet again,

We eventually get drawn into a mighty web,
Trying to free entangles us even more,
We get sucked into the Bermuda triangle,
And there’s no way we can survive,
However hard we thrash about and struggle,

So my countrymen, we need to learn,
We need to contemplate, we need to act,
We need to improve ourselves first,
And not fall into the vicious maze,
Of crime, hatred, betrayal and craze,

Tonight, we take a pledge,
We’ll do the best we can,
To save our country; To save the world.
We’ll eventually wipe terrorism completely,
Coz, we are united, like one big family……
