V-DAY or D-DAY

V-DAY  or   D-DAY  

 

People are celebrating the world over

Dragonboats afire, and smokes hover

with cinder,  prayers choken out of breath

aground mourn the vagrant souls of death

 

Whose victory, and whose doom

whose conspiracy, in whose room

Why such large scale of madness

and what the root of such sadness

What gain for the superior power

what pain of the suffering neath the tower

How come the wars in the first place

Inquire not the spire but the sinful base

 

Aren't all lives created equal and free

Oughtn't we all feed on the life tree

God's children, and children of light

Shouldn't we share the same right

 

WHY the disintegration and discrimination

Why the disdain and detain, deportation and exploitation

Why can some hold the other in serfdom

Why the territory, barbed fences round a kingdom

 

Doctor King sacrificed himself to a dream

wherein no marginal,no mainstream

Shall people die out in martyrdom

Before the world settle in peace and freedom
