Little Lamb ! Who Killed Thee

Little Lamb! Who Killed Thee ?

 

If the mystic poet William Blake were living in the present age he would definitely write

Little Lamb !Who killed thee'

Little Lamb !Who killed thee'

Little Lamb I ll' tell thee

Little Lamb I ll' tell thee

The one who  defies God

The one who is brute

The one who is coward

Palestinians and Lebanese are being brutalized by the powerful cowards devoid of humanity and principle. They have power of weapons an media to target the innocence. The story  of little lamb killed and swallowed by the cruel wolf rightly symbolize the people being killed in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine and  the most recently in Lebanon. A little innocence goes on a stream for drinking water and is overcome by a cruel wolf. The wolf blames the lamb for abusing him the last year. The lamb tells him that he is only three months old. The wolf says that the impertinent lamb would be his father who was killed for his impertinence. Innocent lamb again explains that his father was sacrificed   on Eid-ul-Azha. On  this point the wolf attacks the lamb and killed because he has to do this out of his instinct.

Afghanistan was punished for Alqaida, Iraq for Suddaam Hussain and now Lebanon is being targeted for Hezbollah . Being the super power of the world USA consider it her duty to establish democracy in all over the world. Afghanistan and Iraq are bestowed with this blessing and the democratic governments in these two countries are right powers according to American point of view. America wanted to see democracy in Palestine in the result of fair election. According to an estimate USA spent about twenty billion dollars to keep away Hammas from governing Palestine. But opposite to all expectations of her Hammas came into power and it was considered necessary to punish Hammas for this insolence of being elected by the majority of Palestinians.  First it is  demanded by America that there should be a democratic government in Palestine and then justly and fairly elected government does not qualifies the American standards. It means that in all respects Palestinians are to be punished because they are lambs.  Besides this Hezbollah is also enemy of Israel because they show resistance against Israel when she victimizes armless innocent Palestinians. This is the peak of bravery demonstrated by Israelites that against armless and homeless men, women and children they use tanks and rockets. On the other hand the people throwing stones on these tanks are culprits, enemies of peace process and terrorists.

America  considers it the right of Israel to crush Hezbollah to make her defense solid and invincible, though innocent people lose their lives and their  homes. More over America has offered more weapons to Israel. Israeli children write messages on the rockets and missiles fired on Lebanon. They don't know the miseries of the children effected by these  devilish gifts. The whole world remains silent as snow lying on sky touching mountains which forget weeping lest   the wolves go away in streams coming from those mountains. According to official reports amore than seven hundred people including two third of the total number have lost their lives during the recent attacks. UN   and other human rights organizations seem dead bodies doing nothing for the sorrowed humanity.  Only a few protests and rallies are observed to show solidarity with the victims of violence. Tears and blood spoil the sprinkling smiles but no one goes ahead to stop this transgression.    Actually this war is between innocence and  brutality or between wolf and lamb. If the lamb were strong enough to defend himself against the cruelty and brutality the brute and offensive wolf would not attack him. William Blake would write beautiful and melodious songs when there was no brutality and barbarism around him. He would think about the creation of God Almighty. He would see the existence of Holy Spirit in creatures and creation. If  he saw these  extreme atrocities against the crown of creation because of innocence he would definitely sigh out the question'

Little Lamb !Who killed thee'
