The pain of Israel and my pain
How ugly can be human race…

some drops felll on my face
of fresh water
I felt the half joy of bathing
but without fault of
life is still so joyous
I realised
being fortunate
than many more
dead
and slaughtered
joy of receiving life
was always more
in my eyes
but the deadly
massacres
were more of
pain
than I thought of
or ever would
think of
pain so intense
there was no limit
to hurt
to counter
I am obliged
by thoughts
that rise up
but this time
humanity fell down
down at its knees
to see the fault of
not one
but many
many men
hurting women
kids
and other men
so loud
How much it pained me
no one thought of
humanity was in
so disgusting
shape
I never thought of
pain
pain
pain
sickening like before death
hurting like deep wound
bleeding like insane
humanity was no where
where for years
I stood
in my thoughts
to welcome life again
a fear stirred
a fear stirred
all hope looked less smart
all joys pale
there was mad hurt
life on earth is insane
how much of more pain
is insane
how much of it
is more insane
in tears of heart
in sorrow of brain
in struggling mind
for peace again
I stand still with life
just still
for this time
for people alive
envy the dead
is true this time
is true this time
a slaughter house earth
i again asked self
where was help from God?
here on earth no body was heard
by any supreme power
life has lost its worth?
no heaven shooked
no supreme blamed
things moved same
just the same
saving one’s life
I still move
in heavy streets today
realising what life can serve
might be my turn
or your turn
next time
Who created bread
didn’t realise
need was more
lack of food kills slow
there can be death
with a huger blow
I still feel sad
moved from where
i used to peacefully
wish
if I could save them
if I could save
if I could have grown taller
to be a mother who wiped my face
of tears
I wish I was smarter
I wish there was less pain
I wish if it never happened
if I could hope strongly
it never happens again
what god didn’t do
if some man could do
on earth’s this very place
i wish I could save
I wish I could save
with a still painful limb
though I stand unsafe
on floor
I still aim
I wish I could save
I still wish I could save
if someone has to
why couldn’t I right away
the earth moved unsafe
I was silent
there was noise that began
within me
if hour could be ours
i wish there was a way
I wish there was a way
to save
But no where I see star
it’s time of rain
water fell more
from my eyes
than it did rain
I wish then
one day
I will save
I will save
About the Creator
Ekta K. Kalra
I am in search of something inside of me which I know cannot be found outside of me. Real knowledge!
