YES, IT IS HIGH TIME

YES, IT IS HIGH TIME

 Ouch! A sudden, callous blast shatters the whole matters
Forces the innocent lives into sad and hapless tatters
Pulls the moving, active and serene world to a standstill
Pits unfathomable gorges of loss that is too hard to fill!

Ah! Bloods ejaculate; fleshes are sliced and minced
Bones are scattered; the usual carnival is diminished!
Frenzied stampedes, hustles and bustles for survival
Oh! Some defeat Death; alas! Some succumb to burial!

When the menacing fanatics loom large slyly and hover
Shock and terror waves spread the tumultuous world over
Roads are drained by flash floods of piteous, pathetic tears
Ah! Some vanish themselves; some lose their nears and dears!

But, what gains they reap being hell-bent on destructions
What motives they materialize devising deadly devastations
What goals they achieve by facilitating irreparable ruinations?
Do they really, by their heinous cruelty, reach birth’s destinations?

It is high time they did scrupulously ponder and sensibly retreat
They did rectify themselves before it is remorsefully too late
Else, none will come to their rescues as the Conscience Fate,
With appropriate remedies, will call them on to gulp and greet!
