How Many More? ? ? Poem by Amitava Sur
How Many More? ? ?
How many more holy pretty souls -
Have to sacrifice?
Jesus, Hassan, Srichaitanya, ... Gallelio, Lincoln.....
There are some wise people who speak of wisdom,
They site those sacrifices to refine the devil souls.
But I'm so ill fated … seeing in my naked eyes
Hitlar, Idi, Polpots were bulldozing on this earth.
That tradition continues even as on date
Feudalism, dictatorship, and anarchism on rampage.
From continent to country - province -
States - villages - down to homes.
Looting raping extortion became the most common words
The society has taken them all, as to be granted today,
Innocents are becoming prey here, everyday.
Where are those wise people with their prophesy of wisdom?
When my sisters are raped and torn … mothers losing their sons?
How many more holy pretty souls -
Have to sacrifice?
Jesus, Hassan, Srichaitanya, ... Gallelio, Lincoln.....

Very intense, heartbreaking poem, Amitava. It seems the people who speak wisdom, only speak of it, yet do nothing to apply their wisdom to making life better in India. Innocent people being sacrificed for what? I cannot comprehend the evil of man, why must he hurt others and try to control their lives, with such hatred? It makes no sense to me. It is a cruel world indeed, without love, caring and compassion for one another. And yet, you are such a sensitive man, Amitava. Your poetry says it is so. You are the opposite of these cruel, hardened men of evil. My heart is heavy with the thoughts you have given in your poetical words, yet will I have hope that change will come about soon. RoseAnn
