5. Aftermath Of Thirteenth: United We Stand Poem by Abha Sharma

5. Aftermath Of Thirteenth: United We Stand

Rating: 3.7


No doubt the terror was struck on thirteenth
No doubt the innocent lives were snapped
No doubt the widows wailed and children orphaned
No doubt the heritage pink tainted bloody red

But No…Do not catch the off beam
The misconception should never precipitate
No valiant nerves have we ever lost
By this malicious bleeding frost

The fierce tempest
Has now blown all fears away
We stand together as we never stood
Fighting the enemy as we ever should


The city will always shine on Tourist map
The globe trotting jewelers will always tap
The innocent sacrifices will never go waste
The sinners will hereby the hell do taste.





A vote of thanks from the people of Pink City [JAIPUR]
Thanks to the global support which was received from all corners of the world.
God bless us all.

This fine poem certainly does justice to the cause you commemorate. The repetition of 'no doubt' in the first stanza and the powerful verbal tongue you use to challenge your oppressors is most impressive. A strong patriotic poem of solidarity. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Yes united we stand and whatever does not destroy us, makes us STRONGER to counter the hatred of terrorism. A great rallying poem Abha! Reading it gives strength to to power of the pen held in clenched determined fist. May the bereaved be surrounded by love and Peace rise up in the minds eye. The 13th can truly be the blackest of days, All the best to you, Tai

Wonderful poem though its painted with sorrow as we all lament for untimely death of our brothers and sisters. But I always believe, no matter what happens, we can still move on and be stronger if we keep united.... on our own little way as a poet to condemn such inhumane act. thanks, melvin

A moving tribute, and a poignant recollection of what transpired. But nothing, as you say, can supress the unputdownable hope that still glows in the embers of the city. God Bless Us All....

Those who live by sword will get killed by sword. Eternal vigil is the price of freedom. A touching poem is indeed, Abha.

The bloodthirsty few who love the face of violence, the smell of innocent blood and the sight of suffering and pain.. those sadists.. may their hearts turn, may they realise the foul deed they do and where it will land them..

There are acts of evil so that goodness grows much stronger..... All sand grains so d rain drops unite to form one land, one ocean..... Itz time to show evil that how hard it tries it cannot kill gooness... Evil can never win.. Good ness fights back.... n there will b no times where we d ppl will b consumed by our own petty indifferences... D war is going on from generations... N we d ppl have given so many sacrifices... But that has made us n our will power to create more stronger n we will develop.... We will fight evil... With peace... with love.... Wat WMD's cannot do d pen n thoughts do..... U have done ur work my fren n tis poem has a strong message to all d nations fighting global terrorism... N tey will b inspired by this antique poem.. Keep it up fren.. N best wishes.... from Karan
