Its hard to come to terms with what has happened in Mumbai. I set out to write a poem for the innocent but I couldn't. If only words could satisfy grief.
The Mumbai incident episode has been put to an end. But is it really the end or is it the end of a new beginning or the beginning of the end.
Failed to comprehend why it all happened. Failed to understand the motive.
Terrorists at least have an open agenda. The politicians are those who are the ones who have a hidden ulterior motive, a secret agenda. Who do we blame?
Our neighbours?
The politicians?
or
Us?
Why do I say that?
Because it is our fault. We as a generation are not just growing trend wise,economy wise but also increasingly becoming efficient in not putting terror to R.I.P but initiating every bit of it.
We choose the people.We choose the government. We have no right to crib. No right to complain. No right to point fingers at others when we ourselves are to be blamed.
We as citizens should realize for once that it us who define our country. No matter the atrocities and the hatred that we have built in among ourselves, we must realize that someone somewhere needs us irrespective of caste and religion.
61 years and we aren't young. We should have learnt from our mistakes a long time ago.
Stop blaming and start playing.
Chess board set. The lines drawn. The players in position.
I, pledge today to do whatever it is that I can to help minimalize activities of vengeance, hatred and fear.
I am going to face it when its comes to me. I am ready.
Are you?
light the dark side of every human mind
and each small candle
lights a corner of the dark..."
