Starvation Is A Weapon Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon
Starvation Is A Weapon
Human Rights Watch says
the terrorist outfit
feigning as a nation
is blocking delivery of
water, food and fuel
to the two million people
in Gaza, mostly displaced
and razing their agricultural lands,
thus starving them to death.
Uncle Sam looks on with a glee
for, more of his arms will be sold
if the war drags on!
But, take from me,
his dirty tricks will pay him back
many times over
as they did in 1971!
In 1971 uncle sam instigated the terrorist haven of Pakistan to attack India, so that they could sell them tons of arms ammunition and other weapons and ‘defence' equipment. But, India freed Bangladesh in just 14 days, defeated Pakistan and ended the war
Today, the UN has remarked unequivocally that they have recognised that tofn (Israel) is using Starvation as a weapon to decimate the entire populace in Gaza
Only uncle sam, who is the only one to use nuclear arms and who massacred millions of civilians in Vietnam Cambodia etc and his crueller ‘best friend' can stoop down to this level
Much horrible than the nuclear bombs, horribly crueller than the chemical weapons of mass destruction, denying water, food, fuel and medical facilities to civilians, women and children by a forceful military embargo on movement of goods, is the epitome of war crimes.
How horrible. I feel rotten to hear this. Thanks for bringing it out in the open.
Thank you, Poet Mr Mair. A glimpse from the real story
1971 was another year that ended with uncle sam biting dust

2) 1971: it is history. The unholy nexus of Kissinger and Nixon had dispatched the Seventh Fleet to invade India. But before the fleet reached Indian waters, the war ended and Bangladesh was born
