That news from the west of ours
about bidding adieu of budding lives
of one hundred thirty two school-pupils
about bidding adieu of budding lives
of one hundred thirty two school-pupils
and adult lives of nine from this Universe,
falling in predicament, flowed
incessant brooks on cheeks from eyes,
incessant brooks on cheeks from eyes,
drenched hearts with deep wrenches
And filled minds with misery and sadness.
Those tender buds with innocence on face
And dreams in mind to be cherished
in days ahead would have bloomed
to blossoms with vibrant hues
and gushing fragrance to spread glee
in the eyes of self and others
all Ha! Ended up dejectedly
in massacre; school's bomb-blast.

What do those beasts in human hides
hiding in Nature’s hide-outs gain with
this vindictive act of cruelest nature
this vindictive act of cruelest nature
and as they believe, is there a heaven,
above the Earth that can house these
evil-spirited beastly beings, carrying
false notions in malicious minds,
to provide comfort they feel to relish?

O! God don’t you see the spiteful vices
displayed by the teens and youths
selected and trained to be sinners
by a handful of fanatic brains
selected and trained to be sinners
by a handful of fanatic brains
that design ways and means
for achieving selfish mottoes
of luxuriant stay as masters
clasping the world in their clutches?

All the Nations, if do not punish
and put in lockup the possessors
and put in lockup the possessors
of those misguided muddy souls
which express cheek in open and
which express cheek in open and
and come together and counsel
to tame all those miscreants and
their accomplices to shed the venom,
they hoard, it will ruin the whole globe.
