A TEAR FAIR


On 26/11/2008, Terrorist attacks in Mumbai


A TEAR FAIR

Pools of tears
Streams of tears
Lakes of tears
Seas of tears
Oceans of tears
And showers of tears
Gushing down the C.S.T station
Springing down the Hotel Oberoi
Flushing down the Taj Heritage
Trickling down the Nariman House
Collecting from the other tributaries and confluencing
Flow’d on the bleeding beds of Mumbai
Ceaselessly, relentlessly and helplessly…
Stalling a tear fair for three days
Proving again the adage ‘The barbaric cowards rush in where the civilized heroes fear to tread…’

  1. Well crafted the scenario. Cowardice shown by the rulers had been big negative.
