Shocking revelation !!!

Last night I was worrying
where and how my life’s leading.

May be it was the same this morning
untill I was caught unaware by news and mourning.

But, I know I am still sleeping,
I don’t feel the pain, the suffering,

of my fellow men around, living,
and I admit I am shameless enough

to find that the news is shocking
while I keep smiling.

A very nice & effective poem indeed.
very sensitive and sensible.

That you feel so, which would be the feeling of so many of us, shows that you are very concerned about what is happening, outside and also within you.
Unfortunately the media, given to it, is converting every catastrophe or bad happening into a welcome story for them and depicting it like some entertainment & information they are providing to viewers, with ad interruptions & sponsorship providing them the money, which is killing the real feeling & concern of the otherwise very sensitive public. This is of course my personal opinion. Somewhere something is getting distorted & waylaid to kill the real feelings within, for humanity.
Thank you indeed for this beautiful poem, so very apt.

it is painful
time and again
mumbai goes through this trauma
of terrorist attacks
due to the folly and corrupt practices
of govt. officials and politicians
i feel this tragedy will see to it
that mumbai becomes a safe place to live in
my heartfelt condolence to all the families
who lost their loved ones
it could have been prevented but i hope
a new india wakes up and does something concrete
to prevent such incidences in the future
