Axis & Allies - damowords

Captured
Finding a bullet had a back tyre blown
Ismail & Ajmal some fesh car hijack
Behind, the bleeding cop took out his phone
A witness to their terrible attack,
“But that was then!”
He cried, “& this is now!”
Warn, warn, warn all the men, they’re headed for Gilgao!”
His comrades built a strong blockade,
The Skoda toward it sped,
Spinning before this barricade,
Like a weaver works a thread,
Before he could use his grenade
Ismail was blasted dead
Now Ajmal gets out feigning surrender
Gun hidden for one last senseless murder.
Noble Ombli leapt on Ajmal
& took shot‐after‐shot
As he did fell his comrades yell
& soon the gunman got
A vital living clue with whom to unravel the plot.

Reactions
Far from a local policeman’s lethargy
Delhi’s commandos flown into the fray
The bullish fervour of the NSG
Designed to keep Bin Laden’s dogs at bay;
Relief at last
With the hardware grounded
Before an hour has pass’d each flashpoint surrounded.
Mumbaikers bolted every door
Their streets are mostly empty
They’d never felt such fear before
Tho fear they’d had & plenty
Incredulity through them tore
As down at CST
Bodies now tow’d away on porter cars ‐
A city under siege & under stars!
The tailor sat glued to his set
Old head held in wise hands
Weary & wretched sensed the threat
Fro mwindow‐smashing bands
A Muslim in the Hindu sphere, ‘Revenge!’ Mumbai demands.
