Osama - But A Drama Poem by Violetta Simatupang

I watch the 1,2,3,4 o'clock wild-eyed views

hear the 5,6,7,8 o'clock news

the final episode of Osama bin Laden

billions gladden

1 bloody name lessen: on the opponent's list

" to hell …you, exorcist. Terrorist "

In a killing silence closing my eyes

doubting myself what to feel

just believe or shall I relieve?

a bloody shorter way to mishappy

agree with the ONE order: "Go, روزہ, ہوشیار ہونا

make it snappy! "

Is the end of the anger - the start of the worry

or the end of the worry - the start of the anger?

and the murderers are the winners, really?

wait, but someone whispers: sinners, dearly?

millions admit it is a bless

an absolute victory of the battledress

I watch I hear: the 1 to 8 o'clock views and news

The end of Osama bin Laden

His heresy - iron maiden

His lady - laden with sadden.
