Swastika

Swastika Author: fjamesj9701 The peace your arms once moved humanity and grace Of luck and prosperity now echoes through nightmares and disgrace For thousands of years you reperesnted so many cultures Until propaganda branded you into an image of slaughter You were sealed on the coin in the Great City of Troy Adorned Indian textiles and spoken throuh Buddhist voice Worn proudly on the sleeves of Americans during the first war Even badged on a Boy Scouts until hitler made you a whore The symbolism of the four cardinal directions have they too lost their ways Memories as old as ancient lost in time and misplaced To you well being was to translate from svasti Idolized by so many wanna be ignorant nazis Genocide is your agenda but wipe that stupid look from your face As you now know your tattooed not by your hero but a tan and yellow race ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
