The Almighty Death decided to honour the desert with a flying visit.She was accompanied by a vicious entity called Misery.They passed through the scattered half starved clans, tribes and sub tribes,oases,cultivated lands and towns.An ill-omened light,agonising the eyes appeared and people felt a nameless dread.The brief visit came to en end. Nothing one could hear except some hissing,grunting sounds of featherless vultures. Nothing one could see except few violent uncontrolled movements of those,who escaped from the death and fell in the hands of misery.It was a terrifying sight.
There appeared few US soldiers,one sat on one spot and requested his fellow soldier to make a picture with the “dead idiot”.The other soldier looked around and noticed an Iraqi civilian’s brain substance scattered all around the dead body.The soldier reached to his bag, took a brown plastic military spoon and pretended to eat the substance.
It was a bottomless pitch and death was not the maddening climax.I refuse to believe that we beings are capable of such hideous crimes.It must be the air that contained the violence.
