Speechless And Dumb

I remained speechless and dumb
As if the noise was heard from bomb
Many bodies lay scattered all over the places
There was cry for help and frantic chase

It was heavy and loud explosion
People were standing in queue for quick disposition
They were at the counters in many numbers
Just it was to turn in tragic events for members

Many were to be dead for no reason
The mission was to be handiwork of mindless persons
The separatists and terrorists are raising heads again
Worries and agony all over for people to bear with pain

What can be the goal in specific for carrying out carnage?
How could they carry out plan in crowded place and manage?
Do they not fear for their life and community at large?
How long they can evade law and remain at large?

Whole of world is shivering under constant threat
Lots of fund is earmarked and created to counter and meet
The challenges posed by enemy is to keep people at ransom
How can one think of these acts as any value of brilliance or wisdom?

We are to be blamed for our inability to counter
How can they come at will and choose place to enter?
How can we show slackness despite given enough of warning?
Cry for help later on with lots of difficulties and yearning

It may be little dramatic to explain such incidences
It hardly needs mention with long references
Yet it merits attention as precious lives are at stake
We may be loosing many more if remain not awake

I might have lost no dear ones or relative
Still matter is important and very much subjective
It indicates lots of things and requires action with stern hand
Foes are to be picked up and saved the life of friends

They have no religion or particular ideology to follow
They will wait for opportunity to strike and meanwhile lay low
How can one think of killing innocent persons?
When we all are human beings and God’s sons
