Wake Up
- Seema Sahaa
The end of a year that’s crying out aloud...
This is not a year of which one can be proud
There is anger and misery n untold doubt
Is this what we are all about?
Unsolved murders so gory n grime
Of innocent adolescents in their youth and prime
Will these remain a mystery always?
To be slowly forgotten in the coming days?
A blood curling massacre setting the icon ablaze
The horrific mass murder in the Mumbai carnage
The death of innocent people, and so much wrath
Is rhetoric the only answer to this bloodbath?
Does this deserve just a verbal promise to avenge?
Empty words and threats and plans for revenge
We remain placid watchers there is no doubt
Is this what really we are all about?
