IS INNOCENCE A FELONY??

(THIS POEM IS DEDICATED TO INNOCENT KIDS LIKE BALACHANDRAN WHO ARE SHOT TO DEATH VICIOUSLY!!)

Am I to live here?

With so much of fear!!!

Is being innocent...

A felony in today’s world!!

Or has killing been embossed as,

A hobby for many!!

Or is it a kind of drug,

That has to be injected all the time!!

Why didn't they look into my eyes

That only resembled love and harmony.

How can man be so awful…?

Guns could take a lot of life,

But I ask “Can it create one?”

Don’t these murderers’s have kids??

Well to those kids I want to tell,

“Stay far from them,

Because you will be asked to pay,

Even if you’re a killer or not!!!”

And as I lay there waiting for

My approaching death!!!

I close my eyes and respire,

My last breath..!!

I WALK...THE FIRE SPILLED ROAD!!

(THIS POEM IS DEDICATED TO THOSE ORPHANS OF PALESTINE AND IRAQ.  GOD IS WITH YOU, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!! WE PRAY TO SEE YOU RISE!!)

 I walk through the fire spilled road,

That was my homeland, burning now!!

I weep with no one to hear me,

Only god knows what I have lost.

I don’t know where to go,

I don’t know what to do.

As I reach my so called house,

Now packed down with a grenade!!

I reach my doorstep to see

My family, lying breathless.

How malicious could man turn out to be??

The question actually is “WHY”!!

I miss those days when peace,

Filled the world from all roads.

I walk through the fire spilled road,

That was my homeland burning now!!
