When shall we learn?

[Al_Imaan]

When shall we learn?
by Anonymous

A Bosnian youth rendered shelterless in the snow capped heights
No hope, no aid, not even a grain of food to fill his appetite

Left in the open to shiver to death at night
Encountered by starvation in the day and the Serbian might

With faith in his heart, like a glimmer of light
He picks up arms to avenge his people's sorry plight

A terrorist they call him and terrorism his fight
Only to stop their crimes from coming under light

A fanatic, extremist, fundamentalist he is portayed
But the light of Eeman and the zeal in his heart

Cannot be diminished by propaganda so farce
A Palestinian boy with a sling in his hand

Pelting stones at the occupiers of the Holy Land
A terrorist he is by the law of this age

Agonized and tortured like a bird locked in his cage;
Marching on silently to death in captivity

To break free from the fetters of an unbearable agony
From the valley of Kashmir, rise the cries of the oppressed

The tortured, terrified, raped and suppressed
With weapons in their hand and their cause so sublime

Waging "jihad" against the barbarians of their time
A struggle for peace, against injustice and oppression

Against the killings and destruction, the torture not to mention
Yet the World turns it's eye blind towards the atrocities perpetrated

The people maimed and the violence so naked
In the freezing cold of Grozny's plains

Land missiles, bombs and shells unrestrained
Roofs blown off and buildings razed

Civilians carnaged and buried in mass graves
An army drunken, let loose like dogs untamed

To dishonour the people, like beasts insane
"Concerned we are", says the hypocrite Uncle Sam

Yet gloats and cares not even a ****
"Terrorists", they are branded, with bloodstains on their own hands

So shamelessly they commiserate with the oppressor, committing massacres in the land
When shall we learn?

And not just cry for help and yearn?
For the global powers to intervene

Is it not enough, what we have seen?
From the bombardment of Iraq and Lebanon

To the land mines in Afghanistan
And the mass graves in Bosnia and Kosovo

To the human right abuses in Kashmir
When shall we learn?

And not just cry for help and yearn?
That we are the architects of our own destiny

And not the western help, nor its money
Uncle Sam, UN and NATO shall never intervene

Except when the mass graves are dug and the blood bath is over
