Our Unholy Grails Poem by Sathya Narayana

Our Unholy Grails

Rating: 4.7


How weird is world history,
mottled with battles and tragedy...
millions died with senseless fury!

Why at one tyrant's blithely writ
hordes run towards certain death?
Purging out blind faiths
when surged as mindless blitzes
how many lives went underneath,
cramming from core to the mantle
the mute bearer, Mother Earth!

We no longer drink sweet Adam's ale, O' friends!

Filled are our grails with our ancestors'
bitter blood and baleful tales!

This was interesting . It was written very well and worthy of a recommendation. The ending I thought was the most important part and distinguishes it from mos other writings on the subject. GW62

If two leaders do not agree, then millions die for their sake in a war. Your poem speaks well of this truth.
