How terrible must it all be,
if clinging on to a giant airplane,
that will rise to 31,000 feet
and zip through the air at 800kmph
seems like a better choice than staying back?
If leaving with nothing in hands,
in such desperation as to risk life itself
seems like a reasonable thing to do?
'It's okay if I fall off the sky,
it's okay if I plummet to my death,
but life in my home country
is going to be worse than it all.'
How can an entire world watch helplessly,
as a country and its people fall into
hands of terror, hopeless and petrified?
Are you so horrible that you will watch
from within your warmed rooms and
from behind the glass windows when
a nation's young girls become like
pigs awaiting slaughter in the farm?
Are you so powerless, you the big
League of Nations, of superpowers
colourful flags fluttering outside your
magnanimous buildings, making decisions
for the world, in the name of averting crisis
and maintaining order, are you really anything ?
World leaders, doing what is 'best' for their countries,
fighting heights of catastrophe successfully day by day,
holding themselves responsible only for their 'own' folks
in a land left to its doom, abandoned by its own,
are you powerless in front of a bunch of fanatics?
Are their arms, manpower scary to you?
Or is their willingness to go to any extend that
stops you from doing the right thing?
Do you fear repercussions ?
They are going to start showing anyway!
Do you fear gunfire ?
Surely, you provided them with those,
don't you have better, bigger variety ?
Are you failing to see it :
You created poison,
You need to find the antidote.
