Krish Radhakrishna Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Dedicated to many Palestinians who are being treated as badly as the jews were treated by the Nazis. Dedicated to the memory of young Rachel Aliene Corrie (April 10, 1979 – March 16, 2003) who was killed by an Isreali bull dozer when she stood against paletinian houses being bull dozed.

Why Is Their Pain Less Than Ours

hand on heart do you believe in the truth?
honesty, love and in God absolute?
do you speak for freedom and for fairness?
to respect a human and forgiveness?
did you weep when you heard of victim jews?
the holocaust, murder, gas chamber queues?
did you wince in pain at lynching of blacks?
of slavery, suffering, whips on backs?
do you seek fair justice when you are wronged?
if someone took something to you belonged?
Would you be silent if your child is killed?
your daughter molested and her blood spilled?
believe you deserve to be treated fair?
this world with all we should equally share?
then be brave stand up and say loud what’s true!
equality, justice, not for a few!
have you shut hearts and minds to Palestine?
let them be tormented all will still be fine?
terrorists not those who ask for freedom,
terrorists those who besieged their kingdom!
the world watched quietly when jews were burnt,
the world still watches! no lessons are learnt!
hand on heart, do you believe in the truth?
honesty, love and in God absolute?
take this moment to show we are not fraud!
speak up for suffering children of God!

David Kavanagh June 5, 2021 at 4:42 AM Heya Krish, I do empathise with the Palestinian plight, it’s totally unresolvable, as long as the world hasn’t got the will or inclination to resolve it, the resolution can only be spearheaded by the US, but it’s just not high enough on their foreign policy agenda, wish I had better news, cheers David David Kavanagh June 5, 2021 at 4:02 PM They won’t Krish, US is happy with the status quo, and watching the pressure cooker letting off steam every decade or so, UK is not powerful enough on the world stage to make a difference, I really wish the cycle could be broken. Take care Krish Radhakrishna June 5, 2021 at 10:39 AM True David but meanwhile generations are condemned to this fate for no fault of theirs except the rulers of Israel think that is okay!! US and UK must have the courage to call a spade a spade!!

Tom Cunningham May 22, 2021 at 9:29 AM Thought provoking verse Krish, do we confront evil or turn on back on it. Tom Krish Radhakrishna May 22, 2021 at 10:53 AM Confront it Tom! The Palestinians have suffered enough. UN is impotent, US leadership is a fraud! Media is corrupt!
