It was just another day
almost ten years ago
9/11,as we call it now
changed everything...
it altered how we look
at ourselves
and others.
Mumbai ,New york,Karachi
all got bifurcated into us and them.
The word Terror
had a new meaning
more dates happened
sad,angry
full of death and misery
We ponder for a day or two
read and discuss
casually over a drink
and then just let it be
simply because its not
my personal tragedy
I wonder
what if
on either side of the blast
is a brother,a son or a friend
Death is painful
but so must be a life full of hatred
a heart determined to kill
Dates will keep becoming
news,books and movies
but I'm sure a history
devoid of violence
would also be nice.
