** The Fever Of Terrorism ** Poem by ANJALI SINHA

** The Fever Of Terrorism **

Rating: 4.3


The contingent of virus
hidden in Trojan horse, Anopheles
breach the frail armour of epithelium.
Now intruders march in veins,
Some suicide bombers
sail in a boat of cells
Die and release
deadly chemical weapons.
The ever-faithful white cells
are ready to fight invasion.
The feverish battle ensues
Body reverberates
Bathes in perspiration’s lake.

The bands of terrorists
break the defense
of moral values,
travel on a road
of fanaticism
and cruise in a
ship of animosity
Die and release
the deadly venom of hate.
The warriors with guns of peace
are ready for righteous combat
The bloody Armageddon ensues
The Earth quakes
Bathes in blood filled lakes.

You write with courage and conviction. Perhaps we will never see the end of terrorism. But we can attempt to make peace across all barriers of color, culture, and countries dreaming of that time when as the old song says, '..the lights go on again all over the world.' Superb message. 10/10. Love, SandraX

The bands of terrorists break the defense of moral values, travel on a road of fanaticism and cruise in a ship of animosity - these are unforgettable and picturesque lines ever written by a poet.. The poetess here feels about the Armageddon....

The Trojan Horse was used for retrieving the lost honour and the stolen wife Helen! These terrorists and fundametalists have no such aim! They serve the devil and are inhumane! We all will be writing for a long time about them! For your poem 10! - Raj Nandy
