Remember, Remember

 

K.V.V. Subrahmanyam

 

 

Remember, remember

The eleventh of  September,

The fiend called Osama Bin Laden

With vendetta and white fire laden.

 

The holocaust in Hitler’s land

Etched in history’s quicksand;

Blitzkrieg and the battle of Britain

Pages of history are thus written.

 

Horrendous assault where parliament sat,

With subdued murmurs world did react;

What’s sauce for goose isn’t for gander,

Public memory is short; view did wander.

 

Carnage in Godhra, killings in Gujarath

Are fuel to flames that kindle wrath.

Arafath, Sharon and cohorts in blood bath,

Will sanity restored in the aftermath?

 

In times of crises, all hands to the deck,

Lest humankind fasten the noose round the neck;

It’s an eternal fight against bigotry and hate,

For survival of the race, it’s never too late.
