Early to rise and rushing to work
Jostling in train speeding so fast
Bombs then burst in series so quick
And bodies of dead and wounded are strewn

Ghostly the scene to describe for one
Rescue then comes from all over town
The bodies are counted, the wounded attended
People from all walks render all help

Lip service rendered by those in power
Mudsling starts between person and parties
Speeches are made in phrases so stale
By people in power tell all lies

Promises made that culprits will be caught
Amenities announced for the kith and kin
Of victims who died, wounded by blast
For no fault of theirs, unknown or known

Thousands are killed by barbaric acts
Unsung and unwept with requiem none
But the nation is weeping and shedding tears
That people are losing their virtues and peace

Services restored and life starts moving
Perhaps to be shattered again by a blast
But man lives with hopes in his heart
That malice and hatred will one day be gone
