Shame on World Community - A Poem by Jasan

Shame on World Community - A Poem by Jasan
 

Recent Human Rights Watch report and photos in the media (see here) prompted this poem by Jasan. Regardless of rights and wrongs, the international community stood and watched while cruelty staged its dance to the tune of depraved criminality. 

Its betrayal is as much deplorable as these crimes against humanity. The silence of nations that call themselves democratic, decent and moral is utterly shameful. 

The Responsibility to Protect (R2P) is broken beyond repair, and for tens of thousands of innocent victims, inaction has proven to be the biggest weapon of destruction. 

Shame on World Community

Come! Join! And struggle

All people with humanitarian diligence

Old and new nations of moral conscience

Slumped in front, mutilated and murdered

Not just a Tamil rebel - but abused and abandoned

International codes on confrontation and war

Blood that oozes out of this fighter

Symbolize bleeding holes on your humanitarian stature

Brain tissues seeping to the fore -

Witness to a crime in which your

Hands held tight, buried at your rear

Open mouth of this dead young man

Took his last breath in extreme pain

Knowing your impromptus international inaction

 A shamble and shame on right thinking nation'

Eyes that remain closed

Ashamed to view this World

That you call democratic, decent and moral

Flag that cover this fighter's

Slain body may be torn, ripped and soaked in blood

Yet his honour intact though he is dead

But, listen you community of nations

Have you realized

Your so called civilized

Garbs are a disgrace and torn beyond repair
