Smeared in blood … 1712-14
Would that a deliverer looks our way
Would that a helper descends this day
This dawns face too smeared in blood
Home again marred by piles of mud
Had yet to flourish, those tender flowers
Beastly hands snatched from bowers
Blooming innocent smiling faces
Early skipped to school in races
Giggles laughter and their Smile
Writhe and throe in death defile
We are rent, with slash and gore
Our Backs bent, above vultures soar
O wake up people! O wake up now!
Stem the deeds of fiendish hands!
O wake up people! O wake up now!
Let’s rid our home of terror bands!
Books in hands, their quills too
Rainbow dreams, what they would do
Soiled in carmine all those roses
What the resolve of bloodied noses
Where the moms shall find their pearl
Or the themes of their visions unfurl
Dearer than life those bits of being
Stony eyes now snatched of seeing
Giggles laughter and their Smile
Writhe and throe in death defile
We are rent, with slash and gore
Our backs bent, above vultures soar
O wake up people! O wake up now!
Stem the deeds of fiendish hands!
O wake up people! O wake up now!
Let’s rid our home of terror bands!

More than 145 people are known to have been killed after Taliban
gunmen opened fire inside a school in Peshawar , Pakistan .
Most of those who died were children! 10-18 years old gathered
in an auditorium for a competitive exam.
"One of my teachers was crying, she was shot in the
hand and she was crying in pain.
"One terrorist then walked up to her and started shooting
her until she stopped making any sound."
Shahrukh was shot in both legs, and survived by playing dead.
"They burnt a teacher in front of the students in a
classroom.
"They literally set the teacher on fire with gasoline and
made the kids watch."
not self but GOD and others
