karachi violence april 2009

Come night fall this city is mine, dressed up in darkness anywhere you go. The plague of indiscriminate violence paints the streets red with innocent blood. Calls for retaliation against the terrorists arrived from a political party instead of the folks under oath to protect the civilians. Roof-tops swarmed with terrorists equipped with automatic artillery shooting at the streets where once we dreamed to see Lamborghinis – revving mindlessly echoing the sounds that brought everyone out on the streets rather hide foodless in their dark homes, just to survive the massacre.
