K.V.V. Subrahmanyam
Remember, remember
The eleventh of September,
The fiend called Osama Bin Laden
With vendetta and white fire laden.
The holocaust in Hitler’s land
Etched in history’s quicksand;
Blitzkrieg and the battle of Britain
Pages of history are thus written.
Horrendous assault where parliament sat,
With subdued murmurs world did react;
What’s sauce for goose isn’t for gander,
Public memory is short; view did wander.

Are fuel to flames that kindle wrath.
Arafath, Sharon and cohorts in blood bath,
Will sanity restored in the aftermath?
In times of crises, all hands to the deck,
Lest humankind fasten the noose round the neck;
It’s an eternal fight against bigotry and hate,
For survival of the race, it’s never too late.
