It was a cold winter evening,
The blacksmith’s work was almost finishing,
When running towards him, came his daughter;
Asking, “There’s in the news, something about the recent manslaughter.”
“That’s very common, you need not care about this terrorism,” answered the blacksmith,
What his dad meant; the girl couldn’t well catch it.
“Daddy, what’s this terrorism all about?”, pat came the question,
The blacksmith replied, “For that, a story, I do need to mention.”
“The year was 2008, the day was 26th November,
Which, everyone in their hearts shall forever remember!
There were crowds of people all around,
With happiness, the city of Mumbai was abound.
Then there came 10terrorists in all,
To fill the city of dreams with appal!
First they attacked the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus,
Killing 58 and injuring 104 souls, thus!
Next on their list was Leopold Café,
On a journey full of killings, were they!”
“But, wasn’t there anyone to stop them?”, interrupted his daughter,
The blacksmith cried, “Alas! There was little information about this slaughter!”
“Next, these armed men headed towards the Taj and the Oberoi hotel,
What they did there, you may now understand, very well!
Killing and injuring people in their way,
Was how the terrorists spent their day!
Nariman House, was one of their last destinations,
Where they carried out their brutal assassinations!
Finally, on the morning of 29th November,
Ended the attack, when the NSG commandos killed the last tormentor.
Terrorism is all about killing innocent people,
In the name of religion, which is quite illegal.”
“How cruel that is!”, exclaimed his daughter,
The blacksmith smiled, “It’s very common, you ain’t worry about this human slaughter!”
