Why ?

Broken cars, windows, chaos everywhere,
Thick clouds of dark smoke, People in tears,
See the blood all over, death and fire;
Are you blind? Why did you have to do this?

Loud sounds of gunshots and bombs,
Inconsolably crying mothers and kids alike,
Listen to these cries of pain, hurt and anger;
Are you deaf? What makes you do all this?

Motivated by obtuse reason and thought, sense and logic,
Think back how you've destroyed & pained in such a flash of time;
The beautiful world that needed centuries of effort to create, nurture and build,
Are you dumb? How can you do all this?

Destruction and sadness, gloom and fear,
Orphaned kids and parents, martyrs and bravehearts,
Feel the loss, pain, fear, chaos, agony and heartbreak,
Don't you have a heart? What will you get after all this?

Good begets good, bad begets bad, if you sow, you shall reap,
An ol saying oft is said, for you there is but one wish,
That your eyes may see, your ears may hear,
Your mind may think and your heart may feel,
All that is true and beautiful.

  1. You have captured the thoughts of millions of people wondering the logic behind such things really well.

    Hope they reads it and question themselves.

    The permanent solutions to such things is not revenge, not violence but really the one you put in the last verse... self-realization.

    Good begets good, bad begets bad, if you sow, you shall reap,
    An ol saying oft is said, for you there is but one wish,
    That your eyes may see, your ears may hear,
    Your mind may think and your heart may feel,
    All that is true and beautiful.
