Bloodshed In Myanmar

The sky is red by the blood being shed The conscience of civilized world asleep Where in the world is humanity being lead Here is a corpse there is a throat cut deep Vultures are feasting, dogs devouring Devils dancing, angels clamoring Monsters feasting, demons dancing Guns tottering, weapons wielding Is Muslim blood thinner? Easy to be shed without remorse Palestine, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kashmir and now Myanmar And existing Al-Qaida, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and Taliban’s curse Tortuous perils and vulnerability, Fanatical sectarianism’s brutality The two-edged sword of bigotry Parochial savagery and barbarity Religious teachings innocuous Be them of Buddha, Muhammad or Jesus Where are your wits, where is the focus? Insensitive, vicious and callous Await the leaping Hell-fire’s tentacles ----

Thanks for visiting my poem and for your kind words. I wrote this when tyranny was unleashed in Myanmar in the name of religion. From the time immemorial pen has been fighting the sword. To my mind there can't be better use of pen than to fight for the world peace.

Man's inhumanity to man is always with us. Yet there are good people on all sides and in every walk of life . For them and you and I pray for. And I do it often.We must try to be happy.

Thanks Anne for your touching comments. Bloodshed in the name of religion or in whatever name is heinous. Religion stands for love. The pity is that it is being used for hatred. Lots of love.

I feel your angst, Mohammed...man's cruelty and savagery never ends...still, we've got to believe that one day..perhaps not in our time, but peace will come..history has shown that Mother Earth cleanses herself when her cup is filled.. Take heart my friend! Love, Annalise

Thanks for your kind words Anne. Your positive and encouraging thoughts are a solace. From time immemorial mankind is witnessing huge and monsterous shadows of the first bloodshed. May be this is the nature's idea of keeping the exploding human population under control. The mystry is known to God alone. Love. -Mohammad
