Inspired by a report about Ajmal amir kasab, the prisoner of 26/11 Mumbai attacks, on how he cried during the trial of the 10 yr old little girl[ Devika Rotawan ], who was the youngest eyewitness identifying kasab as the person who fired at her making her handicapped for the rest of her life.
The Nation dreads
Dead violence breed’s
Thick blood spreads
Her dream shreds.
Reminiscing In horror
The night of terror
Stood she in the square
Pointing at the prisoner
The court was silent
Her voice was strident
On how he was violent
The pain - so vibrant
The little girl’s accusation
Gave ‘kasab’ suffocation
Deep in minds jurisdiction
He had no justification
His hands that triggered
Lost hold & shivered
His eyes that aimed
Knew, they were blamed
His mind that was blind
Knew, what means kind
The little girl’s fear
Drummed loud in his ears
Filling eyes with tears
The human within- appears.
The tears of the terrorist
Melting the deadly frost
Piercing guilt to his spirits
Creating a repenting crust
Let the tears flow
Keeping all guns low
Spreading peace that follow
Letting our little world glow

Dear Unni,
Good Morning!
I felt really nice reading your wonderful poem on PEACE!so rhyming the words are!Amazing!
Today,6th December,the right date you've chosen to publish the post!
but in HYDERABAD,48 hour bandh is declared.fear n confusion rule the minds now.this is OUR INDIA.
so,we can't go out sight seeing or shopping.
Iam relaxing,browsing through blogs,replying to the comments n having a sound sleep in this winter!:)
Unni,you are really talented n I love the message you give to the world through your posts!
let us hope for a peaceful 2010.
wishing you a wonderful day ahead,
sasneham,
Anu
Thanks for this fantastic poem!!!
A amazing message
for the whole world ^___^
Those funny little poems are written in DUTCH :-)
I think you cannot read that !!
LOL
Have a nice evening :-)
hey RD..
thats a touching one..realyy..
what i can say more? u said every thing..
i have a point to make.. the people who have sent the person here are still hiding and lacking in guts to accept the fact..and he has been sufferring here..
as the little girl was hadicapped by him, similarly he was mentally handicapped by the persons who trained him and made his mind..
Peace..:)
The poem is beautiful just as it is so painful to be reminded about 26/11.
Really touching. Perhaps now he may be realising and repenting. But what use?
wow!! this was brilliantly written
Fantastic lines
this was a wonderful poem RD...loved it...
His hands that triggered
Lost hold & shivered
His eyes that aimed
Knew, they were blamed
His mind that was blind
Knew, what means kind "

@ Dear Anu,
Your comment is really encouraging and leaves me honoured by those kind words, just a humble approach by me on the incident where the message of peace was already conveyed through kasabs tears, yet those tears that flowed to my heart too needed to be vented out right? Thus this attempt and as u said, let’s Hope for a Peaceful 2010 :)
@ Hi! Anya,

@ Hi! Pramoda,
Hey! That was a real valid point that you mentioned, especially while considering Kasab’s age, that point can never be ignored, thanks for sharing and appreciate your skill to focus on the incident in a wider manner. Peace to all LOL :)

Good one
Peace !! India Really needs Peace but i fail to understand why Others Take disadvantage of our Courtesy.Wonderful Words !! As an Indian i am Proud to Read.
ചേരയെ തിന്നുന്ന നാട്ടില് ചെന്നാല് നടുകഷ്ണം തന്നെ തിന്നണമെന്നറിയാം. പക്ഷെ ഏച്ചുകെട്ടിയാല് മുഴച്ചിരിക്കും എന്നതിനാല് സാഹസത്തിന് മുതിരുന്നില്ല. മനസിലാക്കിയതു വെച്ച് നല്ല വരികളോടുകൂടിയ ഭംഗിയുള്ള കവിതയായി തോന്നി.
Have a very wonderful healthy and happy 2010 :-)
(@^.^@)
Happy New Year!!!
have a fantastic New year
Dear Unni, it's so touching to find posts from you that are most of the time, painful slices of real life ! You definitely need to publish a book on your poetries. I love your work ! Keep it up.
dear readers dais
One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life:
that word is love ..
and love brings peace
let people learn to love so that they shot compassion into the air rather than gunshots..
very relevent one
love and regards
joe
Dear Unni,
Good Morning!
Days have passed and turned to months!
But there is no new post in your site!
A talented and brilliant writer should often write,
Expressing the thoughts in the true sense!
Under teh sun,there is no shortage for the theme,
Come out of the hide out,
And today is the best day,
As you are enjoying the holiday!:)
Waiting to see your update,
By the twilight of the day,
You have vast and rich experiences,
After a long holiday!:)
Wishing you a beautiful and creative day,
Sasneham,
Anu

Dear Unni,
Good Evening!
I came with my third comment to share some latest news.
Final arguments in Kasab's case to begin on March,9th in a special court in Mumbai.The prosecution is expected to focus on countering the stand taken by him that he is not a terrorist and was being framed by police.
You know what Unni,really interesting we have a beach in Kasargod named Kasaba.The fisherfolk women fight against their men taking liqueur.
By the way,did you wish the special woman of your life,Happy Women's Day?
The Proud Woman,
Sasneham,
Anu

Happy Sunday!
