Tragedy & trauma



Terrible smash, thunderous blast and sudden eruption
Causes a panic and havoc of blood and flesh scattered
With the sounds of cracks and cries of people and vehicles
Ambulances and medical staff running fast with stretchers
To help the injured and take them to the hospital to save lives
The dead bodies, the limbs and the flesh scattered around
 And the pieces of the bomb being gathered for the investigation
But what about the souls hit by the blast planted
By some unknown devil with an evil intention
To sabotage life and its activities
Without knowing that he is being used
As a puppet to kill those who are strangers to him
And have never done any thing wrong to him personally
Alas! That dull-witted had no idea of his own life
