Abu Ghraib must Remain
As memorable monument
Not rubble reduced to
but reMAIN as reminder
AS IS NOW AS IS
THERE
Of Human Spirit of endurance
Resistence and Infinite Resilence
Endured in abject subjugate SILENCE.
Humiliation heaped upon
By
one minuscule partive of Humanity
Upon the other who has been reduced
To such abject subjugate de-ejection.
IN A MOST UNWARRANTED INTERJECTION
BY
ALIEN NATIONS ALIENATION:
FROM WHAT BELONGS TO THEM
AND WHAT CANNOT BE KHABJAFIED
THROUGH A SUBVERSIVE SEARCH FOR
WEAPONS
OF MASS DESTRUCTION FOUND [not?] LURKING
BEHIND THE PREVIOUS RULERS DENTITION!
A PICTURE IMPERFECT THAT WAS
SO BRAZENLY PUT FORTH
BY THE IMPERIAL MY-JESTY'S disTORT of TRUTH.
Ranking with the Bastille
and
the Robbens Islands
and the circular prison at Port Blair
on Andaman's Islands
au par with the Khmer Rouge
Abu
Ghraib must ReMain
as a momentous monumental inhuman folly
At which subsequent waves of humanity
May weave and wander
through in utterABELY FREE
WAKE UP AND WALK THROUGH pay up homage
Of Prayascitta Pradhakshanams kshanam to kshanam
Paying
a pilgrimge of Penance
As a part of Humane Repentance.
Abu Ghraib must not be reduced
to rubble
To run eraser on a Great Civilization
That has been Sumeria and Mesopotamia
Just because it is ELECTION
YEAR AMERICA AGAIN!
And American Presidentials are lost and won by
HANGING CHADS onshore Florida
And end up chasing
an AlQuaeda
That did not ever exist in Iraqi Soil.
Whereas Don Quixote with is
mate Sancho Panza
rode a powerdrunk donkey through La Mancga
And are mere characters in ficts of imagination
The
cowboy frontiersmen in search of an enlarged frontier
Wind up an Ancient Civilization in unimaginable dimensions
by
being bombed over and out from six miles above
While hiding the SELF behind a barrier of NO FLY ZONE
SUPER-imposed
ON A SOVEREIGN NATION
A DECADE AFTER THE FIRST GULF WAR ENDED!
ABU GHRAIB must ReMain
as
a poignant monument
where a wave of subsequent humanity
May stream in unhindered
In a pilgrimage of paing penanace
Through
our humane Repentance.
NAJAF'S IMAM ALI's gori
must
reMain desecrated
yet protected as is now
as is there.
Gujarati Vali's gori
Stood
as a touchstone
On the path unto the Seeker
Of Communal Harmony
His gori was razed onedarkday
by the frenzy of
one party's fanatics
And made into an asphalt road overnight
By the local body municipality
headed by another party's
lunatics
BOTH CARRYING THE CINDERS OF COMMUNAL POT
upon their INVETERATE SHOULDERS CARRING OUT
THE FUNEREAL RIOT
ACT BARRING SCRUTINY
WITHOUT SHOULDERING THE RESPONSIBILITY
OF PROVIDING SECURITY BEARING SCRUTINY
TO THE PEOPLE
AND ALL LIVING CREATURES
OF THIS ANCIENT COUNTRY!
SUCH IS THE STUFF
Only when one learns to live
in the litter
One produces as a burden of living
In utmost and total peace with what one discards
and living simply
at ease
With what one has done in the past
TO PRODUCE SO MUCH MESS
does one learn
How heavily one lives on PLANET
EARTH.
Live Lightly on Earth!
Like
the Lotus Pema
The Symbol of Bhutan
And ancient civilization India
That rises like a bloom of Insight
From midst
of the brackish waters
of utmost and absolute filth
LIVES IN PERMANENT STATE OF ENLIGHTMENT
WITHOUT ATTEMPTING TO
CHANGE THE WATERS
TO A BOTTLED AND SOLD PERIER, SPRING, 'MINERAL'
OR 'MIRACLE' FRENZIED FIZZ OF WATERED
EXTRAVAGANZA!
It reMains ever in EnLightenment
AS
IS NOW A WAS THERE
FOREVER THERE AMIDST THE SAME BRACKISH WATERS
IT WAS BORNE UPON!
SO LEARN TO LIVE LIGHTLY ON
EARTH!
DEMOCRACY CANNOT BE EXPORTED
MUCH
LESS TRANSPLANTED OR CROSS-POLLINATED
OR LIVE TO REMAIN IN BLOOM: OUT OF CONTEXT!
LIVE AMIDST THE LITTER TODAY
AMERICA PRODUCES
AND SEE HOW HEAVILY SHE BURDENS THE EARTH.
MORAL OF THE FABLE ON THE TABLE:
LEARN
TO LIVE WITH LITTER
AND SEE HOW NOBLE YOU CAN BE
WITHOUT TURNING BITTER
ABOUT WHAT YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE
AS PART
AND PARCEL OF YOUR OWN BEING:
ONE WITH THE GOOD THE BAD
AND THE TO BE DISCARDED AFTER SINGLE USE!
SO ABU GHRAIB MUST REMAIN
ALONG
WITH THE BASTILLE
AND ROBBENS ISLANDS
AND THE CIRCULAR JAIL
AT PORT BLAIR IN ANDAMAN'S ISLANDS
AU PAR WITH KHMER
ROUGE
OF CAMBODIA'S POL POT
AND LET IT BE
FREE FOR WAVES OF HUMANITY
TO STREAM THROUGH THESE HISTORICAL
MONUMENTS
OF HUMAN FOIBLES AND FOLLIES
REMAIN AS REMINDERS OF HISTORICAL BLUNDERS
WHERE ONE AND ALL MAY PAY 'CIRCLING'
PILGRIMAGE
AS PRAYASHCITTA PRADHASHAMS OF PENANCE
IN INFINITELY HUMANE REPENTANCE.
so LET IT be:
ABU GHRAIB.
forever
saved.
AND NOT ALT+CONTROL+DELETED
OUT OF PUBLIC'S FABLED SHORT MEMORY!
so LET IT be:
ABU GHRAIB
forever
saved
as WIPE-ON of MASS RESSURECTION
FOREVER SAVED
from an eraser
run over a badly scripted play:
called SEIZE
AND ELIMINATE
WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION
which later went into ACT TWO:
as HUMILIATE SADDAM HUSSEIN
BY SEARCHING
FOR THEM
BEHIND HIS GUMS!
so LET IT be for:
ABU GHRAIB.
to
ReMain
forever saved
as a hard to copy
HARDCOPY
OF ALL TO HUMAN FOLLY!
so LET IT BE:
ABU GHRAIB.
SIMPLY
THERE.
STARK AS A REMINDER
TO PAY A PILGRIMAGE OF PENANCE
IN AN ACT OF INFINITELY HUMANE REPENTANCE.
ABU GHRAIB.
MUST
BE.
AS IS AS IS THERE.
ABU GHRAIB
UNe-RAZED.
