After the 9/11, I penned a poem on the tragedy. It is another matter that no one published it except one poetry contest in US recognised it and agreed to print it if I agreed to pay some US $25 then. But, I did not do that and so, it still remains unpublished and lying with me. With the passing away of Osama, I located it from my archieves and sent it to the President of USA. Here, I am sharing it for the benefit of all.
A life in the death of 11th September
"Eleventh September 2001, born from the deathbed of a thousand lives
Memories haunting of the darkness spread with sun still rising
America, a heaven on earth, raised its heat towards east in search of dark evil hidden there
World curious and wounded watched with awe!
Oh! God! Why did you do that to a peace loving nation?
Was the question in the lips of millions.
Offering my life if He returned one youth alive, was always my prayer.
Strangely God responded to my clarion call.
Happy felt I that a plant will be redeemed at the altar
God asked, "My Son, if I take your life, I may lose one good creation either"
"Shall I take the life of Osama, instead? He countered.
"Son, no life can replace another as no life is superior", continued He.
Evil done is the Foundation for a stronger tomorrow, ignorant don’t understand.
Your courage and your prayer honored
I bless America with stronger shoulders to carry greater responsibilities-
As America has always been
God is great, I found once again".
