(Mumbai Attacks _ A Tribute to the people who lost their lives)
The sound of laughter the clinking of glass
The brightly lit room, the shine of brass
Shattered by a sudden sound
Gunfire going off round after round
People screamed and panicked with fear
“Some anti social elements must have come in here! “
Reassured the man all dressed in white
But his face said more, it didn’t seem all right.
He ushered us towards the backside door
My heart beat faster. I could think no more
We hid in a room awaiting the morn
But the gunfire kept going on and on
There were screams n shouts and painful sounds
We closed our ears as we lay on the ground
We listened to our people scream and fall
As the cowards butchered and killed them all
I heard a scream that spoke of pain
I heard her scream again and again
I shared her pain and sensed her fear
And I could not help her or even go near!!
After a few hours that seemed eternity
We were slowly led out and then set free
But it was freedom of a different kind
For I am still haunted by the screams of her whom I left behind.
So this is a cry, a universal plea
Please fight terrorism and set the world free
Let’s fight those cowards till the end
To avenge the death of my faceless friend!
