An Appeal. Poem by Amitava Sur

An Appeal.

Rating: 4.8


Pool of blood, already being soaked in the earth'ssoil
Innumerable Skulls are scattered around,
So many bodies are floating away
With tears and miseries all the way.

They all are flowing in the river of sorrows,
So helplessly being unnoticed!
The river being flooded with
Blood of countless innocent people!

Bloodshed continues as a result of fury and hatred
Humans kill Humans only, fighting between them.

They fight between countries amongst races and religions,
So ruthless and cruel they are, worst than that of a beast!

So mean we have become today, all over this planet,
We are now brutally killing ourselves only!
Being insane or losing direction,
Today we're destroying ourown race!

Predominantly we are nowguided
By hatred and shoddy egos,
Endless miseries and brutalities
Are now occurring in this process.

So many tears were already shed
By theinnocents and wise,
And theyhave been flowing being totally unnoticed
Throughout so many centuries past!


Please, please now,listen to us
All you tyrants on earth:

Immediately, stop this anarchy,
Under the mask of feudalism, dictatorship orpoliticking,
Being continued in one shape or another for so many centuries.

Youhave sucked enough blood
And butchered enough humanity.

For God's sake - stop it now
And let us all live in peace.

With all these atrocities -
Humanity is at stake today.

Live and let live at least,
Before this Earth gets totally ruined.

Stop allthese atrocities
To live a life with peace.

Save this earth
By saving your own race of humanity! !

Congratulations on your 200th poem! It is a heartfelt appeal for peace in our world. You have written your feelings about the evil and tyranny of our world into a brilliant poem! ! It could not have been said more honestly and truthfully! It hits home, you have spelled out what is wrong and it cannot be denied! You are the philosopher I have said you were all along! Things can be changed one person at a time, if we all join with you that change, I believe will eventually come about and we will have peace. Even those who are reigning terror on others will come to tire of what they are doing, it will eventually stop as long as they are encouraged by the world to stop raising their children with hatred. It corrupts the purity and innocence of life. All the good people must raise the consciousness of the world, make them see change can come about. You, Amitava are the leader in the worldwide effort! You help lessen the fears people have by exposing the truth. One only fears the unknown. I humbly bow before you, dear poet, you have succeeded where many have failed to make a difference in our world. You are tops in my book, Amitava

Man kills man, tiger does not tiger although it hunts only a four hours a day, rest twenty hours it sleeps, That's the difference between man and animals.the man only does not kill only for relious, but also for money.

Only by believing a world of love and kindness is possible can it be made a reality. While we surround ourselves with unkind words and actions, in films and media, and stand idle why others say and do unkind things, then things will be slow to change. Thank you Amitava Sur for having the courage to speak, and for not being idle.
