Hating the state

A bomb blast today rocked the nation,
All we could hear was condemnation.
When an earthquake later shook the land,
Our mood still remained bland.

No concern for those who were hurt,
No remorse for those reduced to dirt.
Making statements is all the govt. does,
Even we are too busy updating an fb status.

The next bomb could be beside you or someone close,
Would you do the same if that one explodes?
The deceased reduced to jokes on the internet,
I'm sorry but I don't quite see the humanity in that.

I would rather see people full of hate.
hating the terrorists and hating the state.
People looking at the country with rage,
A rage deep enough to compel it to change.

A mere three weeks backs, united stood the nation,
Answering Anna's call against corruption.
The govt. is unwilling to fight terrorism too,
Is status updates all we can do?
