America's revenge

I stand for peace and non-violence;
Civilians are caught in a tragic drama
Terrorists turn heroes of the day.
One side America
Another side Afghanistan;
One called it "War on Terrorism"
The other called it a "Religious War".
Why bomb Afghanistan to capture Osama?
Will they bomb India
To capture Veerappan?
The U.S. and the U.N. have failed —
Air-dropped bombs, then
Air-dropped food packets;
Dead people don't eat food.
Bush, Bin Laden and the bomb
Three Bs all wrong
Only patience and tolerance and understanding
Bring enduring freedom.
