What did you gain?
Kasab is gone... I would have asked him ....
What did you gain?
You could have been a leader
You had the faith, the passion, the purpose
You chose the other path instead
Did you think of its outcome serious?
You came to my country uninvited
Causing carnage and bloodshed
No one remembers you, if at all they hate you
Glad actually when you will be dead
Those who trained you, now deny you
Even your own country disowns you
You were denied your very own soil
Your family and friends had to flee too
Every newspaper carried your battered picture
Every survivor talks about your cruelty
You and your horrific actions
Boiling the blood of the entire humanity
What were you promised for this ghastly act?
Few thousand rupees, a place in heaven?
Neither did you get one, nor the other
Of that I am very certain
Heaven can be made on earth when you spread peace and joy
Not found later when you inflict pain
To what cause was this life of yours
What did you gain? What did you gain?
You could have been a leader
You had the faith, the passion, the purpose
You chose the other path instead
Did you think of its outcome serious?
You came to my country uninvited
Causing carnage and bloodshed
No one remembers you, if at all they hate you
Glad actually when you will be dead
Those who trained you, now deny you
Even your own country disowns you
You were denied your very own soil
Your family and friends had to flee too
Every newspaper carried your battered picture
Every survivor talks about your cruelty
You and your horrific actions
Boiling the blood of the entire humanity
What were you promised for this ghastly act?
Few thousand rupees, a place in heaven?
Neither did you get one, nor the other
Of that I am very certain
Heaven can be made on earth when you spread peace and joy
Not found later when you inflict pain
To what cause was this life of yours
What did you gain? What did you gain?
Amazing!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am too small to comment, however I learnt that no matter what, its all about love.. The words actually are love & compassion. To come to this point to write this & more important to feel this would have taken a lot of courage & faith. Oh! You lived it in those two "GRACE FULL" days. Silly me!
Thank you! Cant thank you enough! Thanks! Love Peace & Harmony!
So beautifully written! Every word so apt! You've echoed every Indian's heart. Love & blessings :-)
