His Justice!

Months have passed away, even today people say often.
Three black days were those, attackers were close to ten.
Next door neighbors, armed, thriving on a slayer instinct;
Actually it was Death personified; nothing at all distinct!

And there were people imprudent, unaware; in scores.
Last thoughts they had were about their daily chores.
Suddenly the scenario changed forever... dramatically;
Ferocious, naked Death dancing on the earth frantically.

At the Railway station; inside the restaurants where people were dining;
Across the Red Light; even inside Nariman House the Death came calling.
God!!! Could He hear the cries; where was He at that time?
Humanity believes He attends cries prior to the temple chime!

Luckiest ones were shot at their back; their heads never turned.
They never saw the death, just lived till now and... succumbed.
For few the horror was very short-lived; Good Lord is this end?
And even before the realization sets-in the neck had already bent.

For few others the nightmare was chilling, worse then the death, long...
Praying to die, painfully thinking about those to whom they belong.
Besides those few lucky-ones even lived on; against the odd.
Emotionally scarred, shattered they returned home by the grace of God.

God!!! Oh yes! He was there watching the events that He had pre-destined.
Beyond lives, spanning ages, each deed has associated events; pre-determined.
He controls emotions and the mind; leaving everyone a puppet in His hands.
Still the ignorant man frowns at ‘his’ losses and crowns self at ‘his’ gains.

They were killing ruthlessly and un-exhausted they were killing again.
Suddenly God noticed him; dancing over the dead and appearing insane.
Barbaric he was! One out of those ten; God didn’t grant him death.
He assumed he had conquered death; God left him alive on this earth.

He is living till date; May God he helplessly lives on and on!
He sleeps hardly only to wake-up again at a fearful dawn.
Each camera had caught you fearlessly dancing at the mayhem.
Kasab, now you understand why are you alive out of those ten?
