Chechnya Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

Chechnya



Chechnya

Retina less windows
Bodies strewn in foul streets
A photo of Grozny

Summary executions
Death sways from unlit lampposts
Friend or foe who knows

Conspiracy of peace
Both sides declare victory
The truth is debris

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Pranab K Chakraborty 26 January 2011

Fantastic...fantastic the imagery of contemporary existence. Masterpiece. The poet, you have hit the right point of our drowning civilization. BOTH SIDES DECLARE VICTORY / THE TRUTH IS DEBRIS. Unique and magnificent the unprecedented lines are written in the history of poetry perhaps. Salute you for your wisdom which should make them ashamed who are still dreaming to win over the earth to dictate again as their obedient servant. The truth is debris....beautiful from a reader afar. Regards, pranab 10+++++(if machine does not betray.)
