About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write.
Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground.

"We Got Him!"
Yesss! We Got Him! We got the one with the intelligence of the devil, one of Satan’s handmaidens. He was one in human form, but I can’t call him animal or plant; it would be an insult to any biological group if I put him among them. I’m not going to refer to him by name either, since the name is one given to other humans as well.
Although I don’t like to rejoice over any death, this one gave me a breather, a small sense of revenge. I hate him even more because he brought the worst in me since 9/11/2001, and now, this feeling of elation over a death.
Let history weigh on him as it does on Hitler.
As to Pakistan, let’s not forget we still need them to pick up the varmints that gathered around the evil one. Instead of bad-mouthing and judging the whole nation, let’s try to make the best use of what we can get out of this, since there’s still a lot of work to be done.
Obviously, someone or some groups in the hierarchy of the Pakistani government or military knew where he was, but the result is we got him. Instead of blaming an entire country, we can make best use of what we got. I’d say, let’s let Pakistan blame itself, and we continue what we do best.
Thank you Mr. President, navy seals, the military, and anyone who had anything to do with this erasure.
