The Mumbaikars' Cry

Another day of remorse,
Another day of grief,
Another day of loss
Another victory to that thief.
Time and time again,
We see ourselves hanging between life and death,
No choice to make
The outcomes set.
Not long ago,
We felt the same,


When they destroyed our city.
But this time,
It is a feeling of shame.
No more can I suppress the anger inside me,
No more can I just watch silently,
The poisonous deeds of a few who terrorized our city.
My heart goes out to those who faced it,
I know nothing and no one,
Will break their spirits.
For the rest of us,
We got another day to forget,
Another traumatic memory,
Another day to thank God
For showing us his mercy.

-Karen Pereira and Astrid Pereira.
