How weird is world history br Mottled with battles and tragedy br Millions died with senseless fury br br Why at one tyrant’s blithely writ br Hordes run towards certain death? br Purging out blind faiths br When surged as mindless blitzes br How many lives went underneath? br Cramming from core to the mantle br The mute bearer, Mother Earth br br We no longer drink sweet Adam’s ale br Filled are our grails with our ancestors’ br Bitter blood and baleful talesbr br sathya narayanabr br
