Petrol Bomb

Merciless rogues are burning innocent people with petrol bombs

They craved to return to their sweet home
So they began journey in the dark night
The passengers could not imagine of tragic doom

Feelings of happy moments appeared like foam
Pleasures of achievements made them bright
They craved to return to their sweet home

The lovely bus was rushing to a fiery tomb
Inhumane rogues lurked out of sight
The passengers could not imagine of tragic doom

Suddenly the beasts of hell hurled petrol bomb
Fire swelled and swallowed with all its might
They craved to return to their sweet home

Scream of men,women and children created gloom
People rushed to the burning inferno in fright
The passengers could not imagine of tragic doom

Inhumane  power mongers have strange syndrome
People are pawns of them to secure their own right
They craved to return to their sweet home
The passengers could not imagine of tragic doom

[Blood Ink Diary]

And, this poem shouts across spaces - each thought chokes the mind, as aren't we all directly, indirectly and belatedly spectators and players of such colossal loss - when one human is afflicted, we all should be. You have penned with such humane ink - where in between the lines one can hear the screams of a human loss. Way to go bondhu !

I am weeping for the innocent people who already died by the fire of petrol bomb and who are still struggling for life in hospitals with intolerable pain.
Please pray for the speedy recovery of the patients with burn injury.

Though I could never assume to know what such evil and fear those who perpetrate such atrocities must harbor, even less would I know of such pain and sense of complete betrayal the victims must feel.

Your words however ... each chosen carefully ... each placed in perfect form - one from the other - indeed, my friend, you speak for these men, women and children ... and you so elegantly speak for us too, dear One. We, the watchers ... the silent ones whose only real stifle is made from the sheer horror of what we see and hear.

This piece of pure poetic verse, and the elegant poetic flow you have given to the wording, gives great honor to these ones you speak of ... and to the rest of us ... well - all I can say is if it were possible for me to walk away without being deeply scathed by my own arrogance as an American I would deem myself as evil as the one who would throw a petrol bomb into the midst of such innocence.

I feel deeply humbled after reading you here, my friend. And to assist a brother in experiencing true humility is a noble deed, unequivocally. Thank you! Superb writing! [smile]

Poignant write times we live in fraught with danger . Others play God. Insightful write.

[zainul]

Hold your ground my friend. Stand fast with knowing these things will come from soon a Great Light will cleanse and purify all that is.
Just as the Sun bleaches and whitens cloth and as it sterilizes germs and disease, so too will a light come to separate the pure from the impure.
Hold onto what will be and share the Magnolias. Share the garden with those trodden and despaired. We cannot change some things that happen, but we can rise above these things.
We are more then body. We are Mind and Spirit.Be strong and remind them.
They can't harm the Spirit/Mind less we allow it.

You are Beautiful my friend and I do share the anger and heartfelt horrific agony, but We will Stand Firm for ourselves and others and know soon this will pass and a new day will be upon us all.

Hugs............ Connie

Dear Connie,
Thank you for the comforting words.They are very precious and sound like divine revelation.
I am convinced that we will Stand Firm for ourselves and others.
I strongly believe that soon this will pass and a new day will be upon us all.
Hugs........Zainul

I most humbly thank you for letting me know the words were of comfort.
When I hear your hearts cry of anguish and heartfelt despair for others , something inside me switches from feeling the despair into something else.
When i do, I too feel some divine presence.
It's kinda trance- like and the words flow from my right side of thinking. I am almost reading them as you are.There seems to be a higher voice then mine speaking and an understanding beyond me.

I set my own words aside and with a knowing , I am suppose to write what I am given best to my ability.
Your job is extremely intense and difficult. What I mean is that your job is of divine duty and though I mean well and wish I could help, however, the only way I can is to step aside and give you what comes.
I never consciously thought of this , but this is what happens.
Your writes are extremely precious to me, connecting to you and those reviewers that hear the call, are of great comfort reminding me that we are not alone. That we may be scattered about , yet there is a great family each doing their chores, while all working to bring as many as we can into that New light Of Day.
Big Big Bigger hugs......((((((((((Zainul)))))))) :-)

Even amidst incessant pain I can feel a touch of heavenly bliss from your heartfelt speech.
You are really a great poet.
You have glorified the humanity through your kind words.
Thank you dearest friend.:-)

speechless, but not tearless and swollen with goosebumps :-).............

What a terrible thng that these happy people who were returning home had to die. Devils seem to cluster around, killing innocent people to satisfy their own greed and lust for power.

[zainul]

Thank you Marie for identifying the Devils who clustered around to kill the innocent people.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

there are so many terrorist acts done these days....and so many innocents killed....
for what? in the name of what?

i am so sad and disgusted...this poem really speaks out well against these evil acts.

jacob

[zainul]

Dear Jacob,thank you for your precious words for humanity.
Anybody with real human heart must denounce such bestial activity.

[SleeplessVolcano]

Strong images.....the sad thing is, what we may perceive as a terrorist, someone else perceives a freedom fighter......something must have goe horribly wrong in the mind of a person who thinks taking someone elses life is a means to an end. Great write!

[zainul]

Thank you dear poet for the thoughtful words.
Inhumane acts that kill innocent human beings can't be justified by the spirit of fight for freedom.

[wordman]

it must be living hell to live n this turmoil

[zainul]

You are very correct to say that.
Thank you for stopping by to read and review the write.

[wordman]

it was my pleasure my friend
