"Innocent Bathing in Blood" by Shahzad Ahmed Sheikh
The innocent wailing and writhing,
In agony, pain and misery.
Calling out in the void, but in vain,
The power intoxicated just cut and slew.
Only the traumatized mother cries,
But, Alas! Who cares, the world around,
Is nothing but a pack of wolves.
"Oh, my Creator be my salvager,
I along with innumerable will get hold,
Of the arms, responsible for this devastation.
I am consoled by my Allah not to be scared,
He will uphold me in paradise when
Others will be running helter-skelter!"
