Carnage in my city.

Once the City of Lights,

is now besieged by numerous plights.

Nor men are safe,neither are mice,

In Karachi,the City of Vice.

Vampires on bikes are on the prowl,

pouncing on their targets,killing them all.

Are their hearts colder than ice ?

In Karachi,the City of Vice.

Sindhi Balouchi,Pathan,Muhajirs,

Aren't we all Muslims,not Ka'afirs ?

Then why kill each other at any price,

In Karachi,the City of Vice.

On every death,my heart cries,

O you brutal killers! Don't you realize?

Can't you bring this 'Target Killing" to a cease,

To make my Karachi,the City of Peace ?

Wrote this poem a few months ago. Posted it on my other blog earlier, here.

Karachi is one of the many things which are extremely close to my heart. I am a very proud Pakistani and even prouder Karachite. This is my home. I can't just watch my home burn.

PS: Karachi needs the Army.
