PAHALGAM: A Double Acrostic in Agony

Peace so claimed, and boasted of, and confined to their cabal is only a reeky death CAP

Agony bleeding of the Himalayan heights and sea-deep made every sane soul cry “WIRRA!”

How can horrendous plots and terrorism pave the imperative universal-harmony PATH!

All—across the country and the world—should find commonalities and spread that AROMA.

Let’s all be clear that tit-for-tat is the only option and to despatch the malevolent to HELL.

Greatness of eclecticism-n-symbiosis­—detested by these butchers who everyone else GAG

Assured can be only when bigotry, exclusivism, and cannibalism are to Hades given the VISA.

Mince not let us at all words-n-deeds lest these wolves and pests should farm unabated HARM.

PS: To do our bit, we (I and my family) were on a half-day fast on 28th April 2025—by skipping our breakfast, beverages, and lunch—in protest against the meticulously conspired & executed barbarous Pahalgam massacre of 22 April 2025 in the Baisaran Valley, and in heartfelt condolatory empathy with the families of the victims. The brutal and selective slaughter is heart-wrenching. May the victims’ families receive all the help from the government and society! May the terrorists who were fanatically anti-Hindu and anti-India along with their outfits, sponsors, and supporters get their just deserts in a deterrent manner, and once and for all.
