An Attack On Society Poem by Huzaifa Zoeb

An Attack On Society



Shoppers go to malls, alone or in groups,
Innocent women and children in family troops

To shop or window shop and spend the time
Enjoying the ambience and air conditioned clime

Never heard of men armed to the teeth
Going there to sell death.

Put me in mind of the attack on the Taj
Those were vermin in human camouflage

Killing helpless people is not jihad
To understand the psyche of these men is hard

To murder civilians where are they trained?
Probably the most vulnerable of society are wash-brained:

These so-called terrorists no more peddle terror
Than the soaring Eagle who peddles so-called deter

Just blood letting and mayhem is not their common point
But in both cases the means and the ends are totally out of joint.
