BLIND DEMOCRACY

Ask the mother who lost her son
should mindless wars be going on?
A widow who before a picture weeps,
a smiling face behind garland peeps.
Smile - now not of this mortal world,
for some it is how destiny unfurled.

Ask the girl who had lost her leg -
for what fault she now has to beg?
The girl who had her parents before,
lost all - cruelty knocking at her door.
Now there is nothing for her to tell,
how before mindless bullets she fell.

Terrors of inhumans was on the rise -
as tears fell from the sobbing skies.
Politicians usual played the hard ball -
all ashes and razed but they stood tall.
The land of trees, lakes, snow and ice -
here innocent souls paid a heavy price.
