THE INHUMAN ATTACK ON PESHAWAR

Really feel sad for the inhumanity in peshawar......may god give strength to the parents to bear the loss. .........causes shivers up my spine just thinking about it
Wanted to share these lines written by someone. .......
In the comfort
of my warm home
snug in a quilt
i ponder and think
of the mothers
who in the morning
each had dressed her child,
ironing the school uniform
and packing the tiffins with
love and life ,
Telling him to wear
an extra layer
as it was cold outside.
As a mother somewhere
had tied ribbons on her
daughter's pigtails
and kissed the face bright.

Hundreds of mothers
now shriek with agony
in my neighbourhood
for their children
who today died
Their bodies charred
with guns which
were long laden with
bullets of hatred and strife
Today humanity lost
and barbarism won
and innocent lives
paid the price
The world howls and
shrieks in shock
and disbelief
and lets out
a collective cry of plight
A mother clutches
to her son's school bag
and lets out a deafening cry
A father looks towards the door
in wait of the child who was his pride

And though numb with pain
I do nothing
I just sit watching the tv uptight
Then I silently get up and
go to my children's warm rooms
and "hug them tight" !

Beautiful poem by Harivansh Rai Bachhan

यहाँ सब कुछ बिकता है , दोस्तों रहना जरा संभाल के !!!
बेचने वाले हवा भी बेच देते है , गुब्बारों में डाल के !!!
सच बिकता है , झूट बिकता है, बिकती है हर कहानी !!!
तीन लोक में फेला है , फिर भी बिकता है बोतल में पानी!!!
कभी फूलों की तरह मत जीना,
जिस दिन खिलोगे... टूट कर बिखर्र जाओगे ।
जीना है तो पत्थर की तरह जियो;
जिस दिन तराशे गए... "खुदा" बन जाओगे ।।

--हरिवंशराय बच्चन
