Notes About The Poem

Mother India

Oh, Mother India,

The sacred smock of your cremated children   
Over your revered land, I see

The lamentations of the death-stricken families  
I daily hear

The unbearable agony of your offsprings, in my 
heart, I constantly feel.


Do not despair holy India, for it is not only me that 
shows compassion

But

The whole world, with sympathy, has turned its 
Eyes upon you
 
All nations are willing to assist you to overcome this 
Horrible affliction
  
Thus  

You to return to your illustrious status 

And

The love of humanity to be glorified!

Dear Demetrios, A heartbreaking poem for the great Indian country, where all the news is frightening and upsetting about people dying on the streets and requiring the entire world's attention. I stand with you for these human souls
