Faceless Enemy Poem by Syed Ahmed Shah

Can you spot the round object
Lying on the ground
By the side of the frayed masonry

No it is not a football
The world cup is long over

No it is not an empty cup
Their cup of woe is already full

It is part of a human skull...

Hours ago it had a face...

Face of a four year old terrorist
Who used to terrorize his young sister
With a toy gun

Bang Bang Bang...

See, you have not missed the target
Your faceless enemy is now neutralized…
