The pain of Israel and my pain

How ugly can be human race…

By Ekta K. Kalra Published 2 years ago 2 min read

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
