Peace terminated
Fear germinated.Ruthless attackers,
Had all petrified.
Stupefied, life was fortified.
In terror pavilion
Pleas for mercy
Was lost in oblivion .
Terror monks showed no courtesy.
They had their hostages play host
To cross the town and police post.
Out of town on deserted street,
Darkness enveloped.
Suddenly a new command....Run!!
Lifting hem they did as told
Fearing now to be shot dead.
Tears blinded their vision
Yet they ran as if on a mission.
Collapsing in familiar lanes
Only on sighting their loved ones .
Little had they known that morn
As they sat and wrote their college exam,
Destiny had formulated some other plan.
Answer script still lay clutched in their fist
Playing sole witness to their ordeal.
Unprepared unaware the brave girls
Had faced life's toughest exam
With no scope for mistake.
Horror of that day they live each day
Feeling blessed for their narrow escape.
