WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?*

How often and how long,
Wilt thou - (May thy tribes decrease!)
Sing thy sham, hackneyed and sympathetic song,
And extend vain compensation after a blast Series?

How long wilt thou fool and bamboozle,
With thy cunning and diplomatic rhetorics,
Thy identitical dirty and dregy politics,
And make this plague chronic and incurable?

What for then is our sharp Intelligence?
What for then is our dexterous Defense?
What for then are our multifunctional Missiles?
What for then are our vigilat Police and Court Files?

Thus, may their bloods shake thy spines,
May their plights relent thy nerves,
May their tears rouse thy false fleeting whines!
Or else, a Day will descend to differentiate:
"To be sympathied with is too hard to tolerate!"

N.B. This poem is based on the Assam bomb blast that killed sixty odd innocent people, in 2010.
