A NO-WIN GAME

A NO-WIN GAME

Civilization on the rack,
the wheel of fire in top gear,
no hope of respite.

This black and white,
this flashpoint
of racial dissension,
this fuse for annihilation,
in the name of man's liberation
of ushering him into freedom's dawn
in equality's sun.

Anger and hatred,
the propellers
of mortal destiny,
of nations and empires.

Mind-blowing, nerve-racking,
competition in all spheres
is a no-win game
with stakes so heavy.

Desecrate monuments,
pagodas and cathedrals.
Train cannons at every treasure,
indiscriminately on everyone.
