An Eye For An Eye

By Aditya Mehta 5 October 2008 373 views One Comment

Woke up Sunday morning
In the paper I read,
Bomb blasts in New Delhi
Thirty are dead.

I got all depressed
And thought…why again?
All this bloodshed..
It’s going insane!

Sometimes it’s saffron,
Sometimes it’s green,
Soon everyone will be dead,
No one to be seen.

Read Gandhi’s writings,
And you’ll be sure to find,
That an eye for an eye,
Makes the world blind.
