LET’S NOT BE WORSE THAN THE CANNIBALS!

LET’S NOT BE WORSE THAN THE CANNIBALS!

Let’s not be worse than the cruelest cannibals,

In spite of being labelled as the most rational animals,

In spite of being called the most sensible beings on Earth,

In spite of knowing best the real purpose of our birth!

Let’s not be devoid of our uniquely gifted Conscience,

Let’s not misuse, for an abominable end, the sweet science,

Let’s not ever flood blood; spread terror, horror and anxiety,

Let’s not disobey the discipline of the Omniscient Almighty!

Let’s not force innocent tears to flow like a perennial river,

Let’s not indulge ourselves in the ugly games of massacre,

Let’s save lives instead of laying them in mass tombs any more,

Let’s not deprive ourselves of being blessed with Moksha Favour!

Let’s not be blind and dark as the devouring and monstrous devils,

Let’s not perpetrate anywhere the menace of ‘Terrorism Evils”,

Let’s not be the heinous Terrorists to torment, kill and torture!

Let’s rather nourish and nurture lives as the benevolent Nature!

Let’s not be worse than the cruelest and the foulest cannibals,

Let’s justify that we are truly the most rational and social animals,

Let’s turn this Planet to a Heaven of harmony and fraternity,

Let’s let the Sun of humanity radiate unceasingly till Eternity!

N.B: The above poem is dedicated to all the victims of terrorist attacks across the Globe, written on the backdrop of 26/11 Mumbai Attack by terrorists.
