Where's the voice? (Lancelot {Bilal} © 2000) In Grozny 100 kids lyin' in mass-graves In Bosnia, 10,000 sleepin' in mass-graves All shot in the head Or simply their throats slit To make sure they're dead Turned off the candles before they're lit In Somalia old died of hunger And in Kashmir women de-breasted Rape, torture, snuff and hunger For people who had different faith They are humans like you'n'me Only innocent and un-armed In Herzegovnia, pregnant lady killed And puppy put in her womb While the dead foetus lie by her side Without religion, faith or even tomb Why did some, so called, human Destroy these lives so easily Media talks 'bout Monica and Clinton Trials as trivial as OJ Simpson How many time you hear kids dying in Iraq? Or the ones being snuffed in beautiful Kashmir? NEVER !!! |

It makes me wonder the horrors that humanity is capable of. powerful writing. It's in your eyes a fire that's wild and glorious Unhibited, unfinished in everything I do Let the morning rise like our hearts desire" whipping boy |

Powerful writing!...I agree with a lot of this! The last century was certainly a century of atrocities like mankind had never experienced previous. I'm afraid that religion has a lot to answer for...religion and the state joined at the hip should never have been the case...but, hey, money and power make for strange bedfellows. In every case worldwide there is religious involvement at the root of the problem so to speak...Is religion's prime purpose to be involved in cultivating hatred between different countries, peoples and races...hummm???? |

Thoe world out there is filled with atrocities and lots of it we don't even know about. Media, to some extend, is biased or simply misinformed, or even worse, un-informed. People don't see the truth cuz they are not shown. The victim dies once but the people around him/her who live, die a hundred deaths everyday! Humans have forgotten to live and let live-cuz they've forgotten the religion and its true teachings and can't live with what Allah has clearly laid down for them in Quran. Its just jealousy and prejedous that they wanna rule with. Thank you all for responding to my humble poem. Bilal |
