Grains Of Sand Poem by Sumit Ganguly
Grains Of Sand
History remembers King Henry VIII,
his mass gallows lovingly called 'Tyburn Trees',
and victims protesting King's control on church,
but not the grains of sand flown in air by wind.
'Tyburn Trees' are nothing new to power dealers,
'Collesseum' was its synonym for slave gladiators,
Hitler named it 'Concentration camp',
recent terrorists religiously erect it everywhere by guns.
The grains of sand are universal,
they thronged in amphitheaters,
strengthened Axis Power
now they fear tumult by speckled bands.

In my view Henry V111 was the most awful monarch we ever had. I believe over 50,000 were murdered by his men and the much vaunted Elizabeth wasn't much better. Yet they are treated almost as heros here! Multi-Nationals seem to have taken over now, using virtual slave labour. You are quite right in your views. Very well said and written, Sumit!
