Peevish tweets, deceptive stratagem
Blood on arms, the night's a battle -
Could you be worth, the falling monarch,
To go in history, to match the march.
Deaths numerous, raise hands on children;
The wise say, pray for an enemy -
Of equal grace, or a generous demeanor.
O pity! Dawn ascends, still in your surround.
-On the police action against peaceful protesters, leaving hundreds injured and a score dead
on August 30,2014 in Islamabad.
