he keeps killing us

he mows down some of us
in front of our eyes
we say we are brave
nothing can disturb us
we are all united
we show our strength of unity...
our ability to tolerate gruesome acts...
of violence and terrorism -
we pray for the departed souls...
strict vigil is maintained
and our security system is strengthened
at least for a few days...
then normalcy is restored
everyone is busy again leading their lives
peace prevails everywhere...
we have almost forgotten his attack -
suddenly he strikes again
he kills mercilessly
we raise our voices in fury
we say this is enough...
we shouldn't take it anymore...
but we calm down in no time
we are lovers of peace
we are brave any how
we all stand together
and show our grit and resilience
in such times of horror...
but it happens many a time
he targets us several times
he keeps taking our lives
to satiate his thirst to kill -
we keep watching..
we keep getting killed -
he also watches us ..
he continues to kill us !
