"I am Kasab
I cried today
I am both human and monster
I am also a crocodile

I was born to misery and misfortune

I lived my life dreaming nightmares
And doing sundry jobs for a fistful coins
I don't under stand English (it's a foreign language!)

Look closer in my eyes and you will see a calm
Post a prolonged storm or a sign of an imposing end?
My days and nights are one
No god gives me courage or hope
'Jannat' seems so far away...probably another world?

Kalashnikovs were not friendly rather rusted and cumbersome
I lied to myself and learnt a holy book
The wrong, unholy way, manipulating my creed
Fuelled by chemicals and sudden, surging greed

I laughed the laugh of death and sprayed metal
which perforated thru soft flesh and softer belief!
I shook a nation, a collective mindset...'Party's over'!
The world took notice and i was the goat!

I am the face, the trump card
I am the pain...I am insomnia...I am the reverberating shrieks
And dried oceans of crimson blood...
I am Kasab and I am young (Ask the lie detector!)


I am terrorised, I am confused
My windpipe would burst and then there will be a lull
May be rejoice! Bestial satisfaction and forced smiles
A moral and political victory! A mass hallucination!

I am the instrument
I am speechless
I am sleepless

I saw the enlightened man in black suit the other day
Seated on the high pedestal, looking like a 'sheikh'
Pronouncing his verdict which overlapped with my luck

I crossed the ocean
I lied and spoke the truth
I have ailments and issues
And the hatred of a billion people
I waste the tax payer's money

My carcass would hang for a while
My life force battling...my legs shuddering
Then humanity will win and terrorism will lose!

My lawyers were quite vague and shrewd
My friends and family are dead
I live in fear ever inside a bunker (irony)
I live in public scrutiny
I too waged a mutiny!

It never started or will never end
I am just a soldier of misfortune
On my way to the darkness

I am Kasab
I am man and machine both (killing...)
I am a goat and a crocodile
I am a forgotten name elsewhere!

I hear the howling ghosts
I hear 'rat-tat-tats'
I hear the screaming silence
I hear nothing!

I am Kasab and I am young
I don't have a bright future
As there won't be none at the end of the tunnel

I am confused...

I am..."

In memory of Ajmal Kasab....
