...what about the victims?

"For when she heard the explosion,
Her eyes grew wet and wild.
She raced through the streets of birmingham
Calling for her child.
She clawed through bits of glass and brick,
Then lifted out a shoe.
"O, here's the shoe my baby wore,
But, baby, where are you?""
This is the fate of nearly every other individual today.With increasing 'anti-human activities',even the safest place in the world is now unsafe. Such is the story of the 'Ballad of Birmingham' by 'Dudley Randall'. Nobody in their wildest of dreams would have imagined that a place so pure as a church,Gods own residence,would be bombed. On September 15,1963, a bomb exploded in a Baptist Church in Birmingham. Randall has very perfectly potrayed how the changin world has changed the life of every individual.
The present day situation is no less than what it was then. Terrorism indeed has changed the life of man. With increasing number of bomb blasts and various other activities,the main attempt of man today is survival.
With hatred in every heart and revenge in every mind,the world of love is turning into the world of stone...Everyone wants their way out,their owm wish forced,but in this process everyone completely forgets to ask one question.....what about the victims?????
