4. 'Black Day For The Pink City Stained Red..13th May 2008'



[IT IS NOT A POEM]

[To all my POET READERS ]

My beautiful PINK CITY is tainted RED today
Six or more Serial Bomb Blast ripped through the heart of the city
Ruining the peace of the Historically Royal town
The heritage now turned in a graveyard.

JAIPUR the capital city of the most peaceful state Rajasthan in INDIA
Became the target of terrorism tolling many innocent lives
The growing Metropolis became the playground of evil forces
My heart broke to watch the heart rendering visuals of the remnants.

I want the support of all my poet readers to condemn this inhuman act
And wish that no evil force should succeed in its aim.

Although I am safe with my family but do not know of so many
All those who are killed or injured were the residents of my city.


GOD have mercy and give courage to the families and the citizens to bear this hour of grief.


Abha Sharma, JAIPUR [ Rajasthan], INDIA [13th may 2008,10: 30 pm].

Thank you Abha for referring me to your poem. I remember the city, it's beautiful people and it's tranquility of the time, the 80's was when I was there, visiting the famous tannary, buy your semi precious jewels, garnets, amythest, lapislagery, etc etc....a memory that will always shine in my heart. No people deserve such terror, especially such peace loving people as I found them. I am so sorry for the devastation upon your pink city and I pray the blood stains are not repeated. Thank you again and of course as a reader and writer I am OUTRAGED at such atrocity. Take care of you and your family, and keep up the good fight for justice and peace, Tai

Even I got shocked to hear this terrible News. Many innocent people lost their lives. My pink city was bathing in blood that day. This incident was a big slap on our country from terrorism. I pray to God for those who have lost their own. My sympathy towards your family and your people of pink city. Madam Time has come when we have to raise our voice against terrorism. O Almighty Take care not of my country but the whole world which is in grip of terrorism. We all have different goals, someone wants to be an engineer someone wants to be a doctor. but no body is ready to fight against terrorism when they hear about terrorism they get scared too much. My heart says to me that I have to fight against terrorism. I always think of my sacrifice to the world but I think that if I can sacrifice my life for the sake of my world, I will be very much proud of myself. This is not the battle of my own nation but the whole world. I am going through the book named memoirs of Pablo Neruda. His book memoirs reflects that how he fought aginst evil, violence and corruption. I have not found any distinguished writer who writes something to encourage our people but they just want to make money. We need people like Tagore, Bose and Bagat. Terrorism is in full swing these days, No country has taken any appropriate step so far to eradicate this problem. I don't know how long it goes on. Terrorists are at large, they have only one aim to kill the innocent people. I don't know what satisfaction they get after they kill innocent people. The six blasts in pink city is really a shocking news for all of us again, before this terrorists succeeded in destroying the WORLD TRADE CENTER by hitting the plane against the building. Many people were killed and injured in that worst hit. Where all the politicians are trying to fill their pockets with money, one person remains alone to do but how much he can do himself? When the upper side is corrupted and dirty. I think madam Terrorism is doing its work no doubt, but blast after blast in our country is proving that how our politicians are responsible for this. How a man sells his own conscience for the sake of some money, how bad it seems to be.

Yet another tragedy, of inhuman proportions. Another sad day in the history of humankind again. I am reminded of John Lenon's wonderful song 'Imagine' and I wonder when that day will dawn, if ever, when the world shall come together in harmony.

I believe it is wrong to hurt and kill innocent people. Humans are not perfect, but no human should have to go through, listen, or watch such terrible acts! Bien!
