Who Is Terrorist? Poem by Mohammad Akmal Nazir
Who Is Terrorist?
Is it a state of mind or thy ambition?
The friends of past are now foes,
Who nourished these thorny plants?
They have taken the form of huge trees.
Thy double standard has put the world
Into the furnace of destruction.
They are terrorist or crusadors,
The world peace has been spoiled,
By thy dubious definition.
Millions of children were orphans
And women widows,
In the name of terrorism.
The whole universe belongs to
Almighty,
Let Him decide what is to be done,
In this way balance will be maintained,
And terrorism will be checked,
But whom He will punish?
Why fear thou?
Thou dost call thyself innocent.
'Is it a state of mind or thy ambition? ' Obviously terrorism is both a state of mind and the action a terrorist aspires to. It was the nuclear age and atomic weapons which first threatened 'the furnace of destruction.' A terrorist in possession of nuclear capability is another variation of the threat such weapons imply. 'The world peace has been spoiled' by war since before recorded history, terrorism is a late C20th concept. 'Millions of children were orphans And women widows, In the name of terrorism.' At present these numbers are casualties of war not terrorism, hopefully no acts of terrorism will ever achieve such numbers.
