The Earth Bleeds Poem by Varghese Kuncheria

O! California! O! Paris!
The earth bleeds! bleeds so brutally,
The one who has founded it upon the seas,
And established it upon the waters,
Didn't give you the right to kill, to slaughter,
Monsters are they who shed innocent blood.


Let wisdom prevail and take courage,
All who mourn sojourn and uproot,
This evil menace that has taken root,
In our planet so serene, so tranquil,
Protect the environment we say,
Protect your people I say.


None has the right to snatch your right,
Your birth right to a peaceful existence,
This planet is for those who pursue,
Peace, harmony and human dignity,
Not for those who destroy its existence,
They have no right to exist but to exit.


I salute the brave who dare to fight,
Who lay their lives down in the fright,
Fight all forms of evil and terror,
That takes our legitimate right to live,
In peace, in liberty and in harmony.
Down with terror! let peace prevail!
