The Terrorist

Posted on by Reena Saxena

He switches off to elude the trace,
alone in a bunker, a ghost in space.
Sweat beads whisper of pending doom,
A life behind bars, or in a tomb.

Gun barrel cradles restless sleep,
echoes wail—grief runs deep.
A child’s voice, a sorrowed plea,
“Why did you take him away from me?”

Doubt creeps in, beliefs grow thin,
A shadow looms where hope had been.
One side cheers, the other weeps
Faith devoured, the cycle repeats.

    1. Qasab was told he will meet 75 ‘hoors’ because they were young and sex-starved during the training.

      A 19-year-old domestic servant was lured by a pretty face on FB and given Rs.10000/- to reach Guwahati and a vehicle would pick him up from there. He was saved in the nick of time as an older lady came on line and started abusing him when his employer asked for explanations. He was sworn to secrecy.

      If you remember Dil Se, Manisha Koirala is made to renew oaths whenever her commitment wavers.

      The masterminds are hardcore criminals, but the executors on the ground are trapped into certain beliefs (vashikaran) to fire their energy and put their necks on the guillotine after the act.
