Global war against terrorism!

a poem by Gaurishankar Chemudupati

Wake up to the enormity of the challenge!
A challenge to heal the wounds to democracy.
A challenge to uphold the right to live,
A challenge to world order of socialism,
A challenge for reaping the fruits of civilisation!
It is not the attack of terrorism on America
And its people, believers and builders of democracy,
It is an attack of the civilised world!
It is an attack on universal brotherhood!
It is an attack to perpetrate war of hatred
Of the frustrated forces of racialism and religious lunatics!
It is like a concert in which
Perpetrators of the sequential and
Heinous crimes were acting!
Democracy, right to live, civilised ways of living,
Which the terrorism determined to destroy
In the name of race, religious lunacy,
Must be protected at any cost!
It is a global war against terrorism!
