OOPS! IT STUNG US…


Humanity was the greatest creation of the Almighty
But are we heading towards a world of distress and pity?
To him, the world is no less than a celebration
But are we creating a future full of ghostly mansions?

2 ice ages and 2 big bangs back, the creator of this world had wanted to create a masterpiece of love, compassion, and peace, but he had no idea that the sown seeds of greed, lust and envy would empower his created human mind…
He endowed the universe with an earth that sustained life, earth responded to him by growing dirt and evil. Then god sent humans to take care of peace on earth and humans responded by misusing the human mind.

The fight between good and bad
Had not begun when ravana lost to ram
Not even when Hitler was disarmed
It had begun the day our Almighty had sown seeds of human kind
And ‘aah’ probably he gave them a HUMAN MIND.

Since the age of Hitler and Mussolini, this world has been a witness of reckless human behaviour. The dominance of one mind over several other human bodies, the merciless punishments, the ruthless killing, endless bloodshed, the deadly wars.  It all began because of one simple reason and that was “IDEOLOGIES”. The haves and have nots have always led to a dismantled state of living.
The world that we were born in, was like a caterpillar, all set to let out its wings from the cocoon and spread colours in this wide world.
It was the colour hues, the scenery and the fine strokes by the hands of an artist on his favourite canvas…
It was the rain of ecstasy, of purity symbolizing prosperity.
It was the smell of the earth when rain poured down,
It was the breeze that touched our senses…
Sooner this vision was blinded.

The world that we are living in, the world that we have made, is the same caterpillar stroked hard against life and clutched to death, ruining the cocoon and its dreams of flying
It is the same canvas that now portrays destruction, blood and not colour hues.
The rain suddenly turned in to rainfall of blood, symbolising dread and fear. The breeze then turned into crawling winds of dust, storm circling death and there came a feeling of terror.
And hence marked the beginning of a deadly disease, a plague…TERRORISM.

There was a time when
Man hunted animals for his need.
And today there’s a time
When man is hunting man out of envy and greed.

She stands there wailing and weeping,
Her eyes full of terror and sorrow,
She has nothing to lose now.
In that narrow lane of shunted homes, leaky rooftops, amidst all that fire and blood, she stands as though her dreams, stroked gently against a pillow of emotions. Her throat is heavy and helpless she looks at them. The masked and armed men who dropped in and laid thousand bullets down on her strong daddy’s chest. Who dropped in and brutally murdered her mother.
Each time people asked her, she only yelled “bad man, give back my daddy, give back my mom…” but those bad men don’t care. That poor girl has no idea that she is only calling out to darkness and speaking to walled hearts, which fail to see human emotions that die with every dying human. And those bad people are only spreading like fire in every part of the world…
In this multifaceted, multirelegious, multilingual world, there are so many chances of friendship and peace, we chose to use the same opportunities as a reason to fight and to create barriers and borders all over the globe…we come down to blaming castes, religions, sects, manuscripts, religious books, and Gods but practically terrorism has no basic belonging, it emerges out of human feeling like revenge, envy, jealousy, greed and downfall.
A dictionary reads terrorism as “the use of violence and threat of violence especially for political purpose”
People call it synonymous to destruction but basically terrorism is sheer misuse of human mind.
Terrorism arises due to illiteracy, corruption, unsuccessfulness, which leads to political instability all around the world, economic loss, human loss and sorrow, which is irreplaceable. Due to the crash down of world trade centre in one part of the world, there were numerous war fronts up and innumerable people dying .
Terrorism is not just when there are bomb blasts or crash downs, it is also domestic abuse…

In a far distant park
I saw toddler, full of joy,
Smiling to glory
Under that scorching sun,
He had probably found ecstasy in a water pipe.
It was as though running water
Was spelling magic on him
And in a fraction of second,
A loud thunderclap changes that scenario
Into a surrounding full of blood and burnt bodies…
Amidst all that hustle bustle and terror
There lay the dead body of that toddler, still smiling
And that was the last thing his parents must have expected a minute back.
Such is the intensity of terrorism;
Why did the boy have to pay his life?
Why do so many innocent people become a victim of nothing?
The questions lie unanswered.

We might crib, cry, howl. Complain but it is all upon how the human mind lets its weakness overpower the positivity and thinking ability…when the creator created this universe, he had no idea of what the future may bring…time immemorial this land has been witnessing such killing and destruction and there is still no sign of decrease…
Humans are the workers and builders of society,
We can either push it down or take it to a higher level, where our word becomes an epitome of peace and unity.
Let’s make this land the way our leaders dreamt it to be.
Let’s bring a climate of change.

Terrorism is not just a game of riffles or bombs, it is not a practice at the mercy of guns and bullets but it is all in the mind
We have guided missiles but misguided men…
