Similar, dissimilar stories

Of yesterdays, today’s

All big cities tell tales.



Of highs and low, ebb or tide

Time passages through

Peoples mind.



Big cities past, present share

Heroes, valour, stories,

Lives nightmare.



Those woes, pain that ooze

Laughter and smile

Sorrows camouflaged hide.



Earthquakes that Pompeii toll

Bombs in Dresden innocents kill

Twin towers of New York fall.



Forever lost incomplete fills.

Borne is remorse. Silence stills.

Baghdad heart chimes chestnut tears.



Moscow scene seen tragedies

Sars plagues Hong Kong Beijing.

Loom low overall grey miseries.



Direct action day, Noakhali, Calcutta killings

Of 1947 late monsoons, blood stream streets.

Frail Mahatma weeps and weeps.



It is all ours, only our dears.

Daily struggles, for existence.

Realm, love melody, hate raucous.



Amritsar Spring 1919, fall, Dyer's fire on 20,000,

Peace protesters, of Rowlett Act, in Jallianwala Baug

April Baisakhi turned into a graveyard to mourn.



Those Santiago chills of dictators will.

Hiroshima, Nagasaki miserable air raids drill.

Holocaust Phnom Penh Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge.



Determination calls of tragedies to stall.

Steal not peace we have enough natural calamities.

Man, made sorrows are those easily avoidable.

Image a matter of choice projectile, civil.
