0109007 –Nepal Commentary
Silent screams fall on deafened ears
Man’s inhumanity to man caught all too easily
In eyes widened at the horror, dried of all tears.
Comes a stage where only mute testimony
Bears witness to fratricide and lust.
Mask’s used through the years
Silver, copper, gold
Age-old patterns etched on frightened faces
Seen against the Holy red
Speak of blood split recently
Gone are the days of the good and the just.
Keeping company in minor key
Dark Ganesh’s face looks on tranquilly.
Above saints, sadhus, Buddhas lined up
A fragile last defence against the cluttered Khurkuris
Hilts displayed in a threatening legion below.
Life’s pageant spread for all who wish to see
A latticed screen reflects the knot of eternity
A sign of hope caught only in photography.
*to see the visual go to the address in the label......
