A Terrorist

In a country stricken with –

war,

crime,

and terrorism;

from its by-lanes of poverty,

there rises a child of a destitute,

prepares to sell his soul;

to quench his thirst of hatred,

and let his family have bread.

Sails across the seas,

in a high jacked ferry,

teamed-up with ill-minded men,

adorning guns and grenades.

Meekly sneaks in the city of 

dreams and hope,

munches on luscious food;

gulps booze to deaden beats,

gains courage to shower,

massacring bullets on –

innocent,

unprepared,

unaware humans.

Brave warriors give away lives,

while injured fighters catch

the puppet alive,

to receive a meager reward.

While the insensible gunman;

lives a lavish life,

behind bars,

for four long years.

Citizens and kin of the slaughtered

cry, await justice,

while authorities ponder

next action.

The pony takes a chance

and quite willingly pleads mercy,

despite knowing it’s act of cowardice

and fails miserably.

All of a sudden,

on a cold morning;

surprising one and all;

yet, leaving everyone merrier,

the slayer is sent a week before

reminding that havocking day,  

to dark gallows as a

justice and homage 

to the killed.
