Hypocrisy Or Sincerity

Contributed by MuhammadShanazar on Tuesday, 27th November 2007 @ 04:23:34 AM in AEST
Topic: war



What sort of hearts your chests contain,
What sort of brains your heads breed,
That you operate upon eyes of the serpents blind,
And you kiss lips of the leprous lions,
Wash their pads, claws and jaws.

You allow dogs to share meals at the same table,
And sleep in the same bed.
You dive into oceans to vaccinate the diseased sharks.
You are anxious to save from extinction
The rare species of turtles and toads.
And to prove the maxim, "love begets love",
You place scorpions on lids of the eyes.
But you produce missile, bombs and bullets,
Devices of the extensive destruction,
And poke humanity into the fire of wars,
Pools of blood fascinate your eyes,
The world is being coloured red,
For royalties, trades of weapons and natural oil.

Ah! Under the false pretensions,
Men, women and children:
Fathers, mothers, sons and daughters,
Are made fuel of the devilish games,
Is it hypocrisy or sincerity to the fair earth?
Spare a few moments to ponder over,
And bring me about the deeds you carry out.

This is really well-executed and crafted. I love the metaphors and symbolism. It's very strong, the whole piece. Powerful, and even beautiful.

Excellent write Shanazar. Good to see you posting. With everything going on in your country, I was getting a little worried about you. Good point to your poem.
Much peace,
Laura
