FRENZY OF FANATICISM! <br /> <br />Freedom fighters for some, <br />Terrorists for others ; <br />Where killing and blood shedding <br />Remains a common denominator! <br />This can never be the best solution, <br />For there are no beneficiaries; - <br />In this game of killing spree and <br />frenzy! <br />Alas, terrorism today has become <br />A way of life in our civilized world! <br />It’s frequent occurrence, <br />Has made some of us indifferent, <br />And others to close their eyes! <br />The demonic flames of fanaticism is <br />Burning since centuries past, <br />Only God alone knows, how long it will last! <br />Till date, more blood has been shed, <br />Due to religious fanaticism and <br />Growing intolerance, <br />Than all the world wars put together, <br />And held in a measuring balance! <br /> <br /> <br />Holding mankind to ransom <br />Can never be our destined end; - <br />With the growing stockpile of guided- <br />missiles, <br />And misguided men! <br /> -Raj Nandy New Delhi, <br /> 22 May 07.<br /><br />RAJ NANDY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/frenzy-of-fanaticism/
