For
eternal spring
Is this
War
Blood smeared
Streets
Souls
Insanity
Proclaimed the
Messiah
Prophet
Of peace
The crowd
Cheers
And
I
Am lost
Alone?
Massive strikes in Germany
Burning tires in France
Drummers pound out a war dance
But please do not worry
Real change can't be hurried
Except with a large cash advance
As soon as this latest plague is over
and the riots dampen a bit
the gentle muse can be coaxed from
the leper's mask and rubble,
to pick up the quill and start scribing
about frogs-flowers and fawns
or maybe It'll be inspired by a goose
that offered its feather for the cause.
Fighting, looting everywhere,
Burning the shops now and then,
Causing harm to people for no rhyme and reason.
And thus,
'riots is caused at any season.
Bloodshed, bloodshed everywhere,
No peace only war.
Cries and Pains now and then ,
Where is the Love gone?
Put an end to this feeling .
Lets be friends and no more enemies.
Lets our generation grow with love,
And
Therefore riots wont cause at any season.
Walking
Running
Bringing impending doom.
Who are they?
They claim they're heroes.
But not a single hero was there that day.
Who are they?
They say they are Patriots.
Peculiar for traitor to say.
They screamed and shouted
Creating such violence
They screamed and shouted
Spewing out venom.
The blue showed up
Not even stopping them.
Nobody seemed to stop them.
Why aren't they stopping them?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Because,
They are one and the same
One and the same.
the soul perfected in originality
strengthened by divinity
of a new born baby
whose first cry
came with full might
from the window of a dark room.
the same soul, years after
darkened
by glare of worldly matters
akin to an avidful pursuit
of a rat in an alley,
rested on the pale faces
being snatched of humanity
it was the mosaic of
these dark souls
that showed
human’s wicked weapon
blunt and rusted for years
sharpened yet again
for political measures.
Narinder
Looking back on those tumultuous summers
from nineteen sixty-five through sixty-eight:
Recalling
Harlem and Newark
Detroit and Chicago
Watts and even LA--
Young folks have asked me, Could JFK have saved the day?
Here is my answer
Don't know if it's right
After all I'm an outsider, I'm white
Yet it seems to me...
LBJ's civil rights legislation
somehow, one way or another
failed miserably in its implementation
~ igniting 'uncivil riots' conflagrations.
Just a Thought (drones and riots)
In Waziristan, a tiny Pakistani town, a drone hit its target.
The collateral damage... several children killed.
This incident happened about the same time as riot struck
London after an armed loser was shot by the police.
A few building were torched and many shops were looted
and trivial items like trainers and TV were stolen.
In Waziristan the drone was dropped by murderous fools
the riot in London was done by the hopelessly inadequate.
