Ashok Chakravarthy Tholana - Vibrant Musings (a collection of poems)

COURAGE AND UNITY Whenever the ruinous bombs are rained Through the clandestine clouds of hatred, Unaware, the innocent civilians, unarmed Scores crush to death, scores get maimed. Yes, the heart-breaking devastate scenes The brutally dead and the maimed civilians; The horrifying wails of the wounded children, Lay bare the cruelty and brutality, inhumane. The egotistic and the ignorant-centric world Though aware, slip silently into a selfish fold; Wound after wound, the suffering is untold, Yet, Palestinians stand firm, united and bold. Though the past wounds have not healed yet Another inhumane and barbarous onslaught; Raise a question of violation of human rights Regrettably but, ignorance is ruling the roost. Still yet, the will-power and the soaring spirit The Palestinians wield, is right and upright; Yes, truth and justice confers victory one day ‘cause, courage and unity is their chosen way. 63 |
