Tribute to Deadly Attack in Peshawar (Poem No 516)




Tribute to the deadly incident at Peshawar
Happened on March 18, 2013.

Today is the day I would never forget,
For the news I have heard
that my Sweet friend is in the verge of death.
A loaded terrorist manage to access the place,
and blew themselves near the judiciary place.

Poor Sweet of mine, were in the midst of gun fire,
He never expect if he would survived.
Thank God for my answered prayers,
To keep himself safe in the midst of danger.

Lying on the ground and play dead,
was the best thing in life he did.
Some people were not fortunate,
For they were running in panic
while there were cross fire
Between the officers, and the suicidal terrorist.

 Not too long I stated, to my Sweet,
"Be very careful at your work place,
for it is government facilities,
it might be the target of the terrorist."
And It happened, when  I thought it would happen.

I am deeply in sorrow knowing
what he hath gone through on Monday
At the first day of his work at the court.

What a catastrophic site to see,
When the busy city turn into battle field
As the bomb blast without mercy.
My heart goes with those families of the unfortunate,
Lying on the streets innocent of their death.

What a pain to witness such amiss in life.
I understand the pain and anger
and possible post traumatic stress disorder, will occur;
But vengeance is not ours but for God;
He takes note of everything,
Of what the Devil  did to our fellowmen.

Time will come, everyone will stand,
Before the judgement and give account
before the King of the Universe
On the final day of reckoning.

At the main time, woe to this earth that we live in,
For the devil controls the atmosphere.
The love of money, self, and selfishness,
Hath gone viral to most of every humans quest;
Instead of showing love, and kindness,
To everyone who reside in this planet.

The souls of many been cheaply sold...
and the heart of many hath gone cold.

Let us take the warning of God seriously;
" Be sober be vigilant, for the devil
is like a roaring lion seeking whom
they may devour."

After all, our life is just like a smoke.
In a moment we visually appear,
And can be gone in a swift of an air.

But we shall behold Him,
In a twinkling of an eye;
Face to face with our savior Divine.

For, "at the sound of the trumpet,
The dead in Christ shall rise."
And the grave will open
Death can't keep us in Hades.

So beloved, ladies and gentleman,
Be faithful till He comes.
Let us not be overcome with hate,
anger, malice and revenge;
time will come there will be peace
In the valley for you and me.

Let us encourage our fellow men
Not to do evil but do good to every one.

Today, March 31rst 2013,

He added more information the whole truth of the situation.
The worse I thought , I did not know he's wounded.
He did not tell me everything back then,
He waited till its getting better, to tell,
because he is concerned,
I might be worry and feel the pain.
He is the one that is hurting,
 and still thinking of me and my well being.
A person like him is rare
I'm glad we are best friend.
I love him more than anything.
I pray for His complete healing.
He is a man of his word.
To have a friend like him,
who need someone else?
