i could hear
the prayers over there
next to
my door
the man seated
on a bench
left the place
sooner
he was quick, fast &
swift
he was good looking
& smarter
he was confused
like
he was guilty
like
he rushed in
with
the backpack
heavy
exploded
roof fell down
the clock
struck 9

Sri Lankan Christians gathered for prayers were assassinated by a set of extremist suicide bombers last year (21.04.2019). Over 250 people including children got killed. Still the relatives of the deceased mourn over the dead. However, there is no room for extremism right at the moment. We eradicated terrorism a decade ago.
