FOR THE CITIZENS OF THIS <br /> COUNTRY <br /> <br />Death no longer lurks in dark alleys or <br />by lanes, <br />But lies planted in the open, near movie <br />halls, parks and crowded markets , <br />Lying camouflaged and in wait inside waste <br />disposal baskets! <br />The devil comes dressed in ominous black, <br />To score with his innovative ideas and <br />eloquent imagination, <br />While we try to catch up with our fixed out- <br />dated ideas and notions; <br />More concerned with gaining votes for the <br />coming general election! <br />We always lacked the firm resolve like the <br />Israelis, <br />And also lack more stringent terror laws, for <br />protecting the public! <br />Our Ministers wait for news of exact time and <br />place, <br />What a disgrace for that twelve letter word termed <br /> ‘intelligence’! <br />Since the authorities remain inept to protect this <br />country, <br />Why not hand over the reigns to the military? <br /> <br />- -Raj Nandy <br />- New Delhi <br />- <br /><br />RAJ NANDY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-the-citizens-of-this-country/
