#propoganda - Hello Poetry

Abdul and Ram were better friends Than you and I could've ever been Sitting on a bench in a park Having strawberry and vanilla ice cream Now it was time to return Abdul's uncle came to pick Asked him,"Who's the other boy?" "Ram" The uncle had a massive fit "Don't you know that that boy Is an idolater,is a disbeliever He worships rocks and leaves That 5 year old is a liar, a thief He worships the false prophet Do not go near him We are better, we are in the right Leave him or convert him We are the faith of peace, son" Now the 4 year old pondered over this While Ram's brother came to pick up Ram Seeing him with a skullcapped boy He took him to the bronze statue in the park "Brother you're a fool, a miser You should've been a little wiser This boy's ancestors' ancestor Killed our family's ancestors' ancestor Your grandfather's grandfather's debt you have to pay 1000 years before today..." He proceeded to tell this 4 year old these words of propaganda Trying to fulfil his devious agenda ".....they killed our women and lynched our folk and committed other atrocities Leave this progeny of Mahmud of Ghazni" No one spoke the complete truth, no one completely lied The bronze Buddha statue near the fountain smiled They left the park one last time Together they weren't meant to smile For a millennia ago One man killed another man and everybody died Hate was sown into their minds Why O! Why O! Why! No one spoke the complete truth, no one completely lied, One man killed another man and everybody died

I turn on the radio "What do you like?" Anything really, "What do you like?" I can't really explain "What do you like?" Things evoke feeling "What do you like?" My tastes are too plain, "What do you like?" Please leave me alone "What do you like?" I just want to listen "What do you like?" Whatever I want "Do you listen to music?" Not anymore.

Music Is Fun
