Oh! Why?

Nerves To Touch

The Great Ending alphabet Z stands for zero

Operation, isolate the state, hound its hero.

Pump and siphon out every bit, very discreet.

Target the homebound

Blast their body and mind

we have the boss chained,

in our compound.

He will make statements to our tunes

“Bearer, don’t forget his bones,”

“Yes master,” replied the caretaker

dressed in khaki uniform, kurta pantaloon.

“You mighty giants; what so wrong we did,

by earn from hard work, water, shed, to feed?”

“ Why should it give you nights sleepless,

that you plot and scheme, incessant, against us?”

Author's Notes/Comments: 

They blasted the train carrying the humble home bound in Mumbai Maharashtra.
