Poem

Whose cry, do I hear, mingling with the waves
Of eternity-ocean?
Scream of which ethnic group
Do I hear in the endangered air?
From the debris of Incas, Aztecs,
Mesopotamian and Mayan civilizations,
The defeat of humanity comes back again and again.

Still the people flee like the deer
Chased by the wolves;
The detestable dumping grounds everyday
Get filled with the dead bodies of babies and women;
Is there anyone who will wipe the wounds of revenge
From the bosom of civilization?
Is it all for us only to watch this way
The dissected bones of the mankind?

I become speechless when men, like beasts,
Launch an attack upon men, sometimes
In the name of religion, sometimes
In the name of the state;
Many a doctrine has emerged
Just to dig the dumb graves of cry
On our earth to satisfy the evil.

How many times will the killers get victorious
And men defeated?
Nevertheless, they must come to know
Men are still alive and the killers dead.
