Martyred Souls

In Memory Of Lal Qalandar Shrine Blast.

The martyred lay, 
waiting to be buried 
only to find, 
fragments of their body 
down by the drain. 

88 lives blown apart 
By a single blast. 
88 homes, 
Alive yet dead 

Oh, mankind! 
How many more 
will we have to endure? 
Before the world 
finds the true meaning 
Of peace....

Author's Note

This was written in memory of the lives lost in the recent bomb blast in the famous Lal Qalandar Shrine, Sehwan, Hyderabad.
I didn't write it as a writer so, I don't expect this to be correct in terms of structure.
Just sharing how I feel about the whole situation which is actually gruesome.

So many people being murdered. I don't understand. New world had gone mad. Killing innocence for the sake of reason and belief. I pray for better days. In my lifetime. I had to take care of people killed by hate. Brake your heart when you see children murdered. Thank you my friend for sharing the powerful words and thoughts.

This is a heartfelt piece Yumna. Like the words of the late Bob Marley, "So much trouble in the world."
What can one do except just be the best they possibly can for humanity in this challenging world.
Thank you for sharing.

I agree, still one can not help but feel for all those lives lost and to know that of course this was not the last.
Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it.

You're welcome and I feel the same way you do. It hurts and makes me wonder where is the compassion in people.

The sad thing about this is.
The news never reached the west.
Maybe President Trump was brushing his teeth that day. Life just doesn't seem to matter anymore.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I wasn't aware of this fact. This was the worst attack in history on any shrine.
I think the western media is quite inept at showing this side of the picture, that we're at war too.
Thank you for reading.
