A Matter of Days

"We'll bleed you with a thousand cuts, our engagement sub-conventional,

We'll breed and harbor terrorists on our soil, that's our policy national.

We'll aid with arms, we'll aid with money, we'll even aid with men,

We'll enlist your countrymen for Jihad, you'll not know whom to trust and when.

 

At times we may go overboard, and you may be tempted to strike,

Army, intelligence or politicians? even our people are militant-like! 

We know you'll take the high ground, operate on a limited scale,

Bomb a few terrorists' hideouts, while the sponsors live to tell the tale. 

 

Tensions may escalate for a while, we'll drop the Nuclear word,

The world will notice, you'll show restraint, we'll kill with a stone two bird.

We'll bring the focus to where it belongs, Islamic fundamentalism no root cause, 

Kashmir is the flashpoint will be our rhetoric, 'war on terror'- take a pause."

 

You're good at calculations and counting, but 28 cuts are too many,

By the time this gets swiftly over, the world will miss you - hardly any.
