The 7th of September, 2011

This poem is my first hand account of the Bomb which went off at the Delhi High court in New Delhi, India which took 14 lives and y fathers foot :(

I saw many a flame ripping the sky
And for a split second, I wondered why
For then I saw, a sea of humanity
Running, Howling , engrossed in insanity 

It wasn't long
Before I realised something was terribly wrong
Until I got hit with a shockwave of Heat
And was Blown straight of my feet

Covered in Mud
I was lying in a pool of blood 
Not knowing whether I was dead or alive
Not knowing if I was going to survive

And all I saw was her face 
Gone without a trace 
And so I pushed on 
With this body all ripped and torn

My eyes began to burn with the smoke all around
I coudnt even here a single sound
Didn't know If I had lost a leg or an arm
All I knew was that my body had suffered serious harm

Toxic fumes filled the air
But to get up, I had to dare
For, if I stayed put, it would steal my breathe
Resulting in my horrific Death

And so I looked to the ground
To chance upon a Giant mound
Of organs of every shape and size
The result of someone's devastating Demise

Amongst the haze , I noticed Death
Staring at me, Right in the eye
And with a Heavy breadth
I whispered, "I AM NOT GOING TO DIE"

But suddenly, My knees caved in
While Death stood their with an Evil Grin
As I fell to the Ground and screamed for my Life
The pain cut my flesh like a Bloody Knife

Luckily , The God above heard my prayers
And showed me, He truly cares
For an Angel He did send
Who saw me howling from across the bend 

He took me to his car
And screamed the hospital isn't far
But, By now, It's only blurred glimpses that I recall
It must have been one Hell of a fall

He handed me to the nurse
Who cured me from this painful curse
But all I remember are shreaks and screams
All around me , were dying dreams

I was placed there in a corner
The nurse whispered ," I'm a goner"
But, I couldn't seem to care
My silence was all I could share

There was blood all over the Walls
Pools of it flooded the halls
And all I saw were the injured dying 
And all I heard were their families crying

Like hoards of bees, they just didn't stop
Like fly's , they would simply drop
One without an arm, another without a leg
For their life, each one begged

I couldn't seem to comprehend the sight
For each one wouldn't give up the fight 
And so, when I looked deep inside the human mind
Indestructible strength was all I could find

This was not hell
This was something much worse
As far as I could tell
This was nothing short of a curse

Finally a doctor checked my limb
And uttered a sentence I remember so crystal clear
He said my chances of survival were slim
And all he saw on my face was irrevocably the most blood curdling fear

I went into shock and lost my vision 
The doctor said ," I've made my decision"
I closed me eyes, and upon my grave saw her flower
And realised , I'm not the type to cower 

But for the next 3 months, I fell into a world of illusions 
Filled with the most beautiful delusions 
But they were dillusiions , none-the-less
My life was still in a serious mess

I woke up today in a new room
With mere flashes of certain doom ,

With her sitting by my side
I couldn't hold my tears back, No matter how hard I tried

She had apparently found me there
Without anyone to care
And kept up my fight
And never let me out of her sight

And everyone said
That I would have been dead
Had it not been for her will of steal
And here limitless affection which I couldn't feel

The wounds have healed but the scars remain
Of the day when blood was spilled like rain
Of the day, the Demon took 14 souls
And in our lives, left gaping holes

But he failed to get me
And only ruined my knee
Nevertheless , I stand here strong
For no matter what, Its with her I belong.
