Terrorism

We once lived huddled in dark caves at night

In terror of wild beasts and predators

We discovered fire..... harnessed electricity

Built houses of bricks,concrete and wood


Forgot how sunrise looks like and how the sunset

The FIRE of civilization scorched our brains

We BULLDOZED tiny cottages ,the green flowery gardens

Replaced with highrise... modern buildings


Clean , oxygen-enriched air is difficult to find

Isn't this TERRORISM of a different kind?
