"And Blood was Shed".

“And  Blood  Was  Shed”.

Blood  was  shed, red blood  was shed,

Sacred  blood  was shed, cause of  unthinking

Brutal   force  of vendetta  and unquenchable  ire:

Ever since the days of Creation,

Ever  since  the  maddening  days of  crusade,

Ever  since  Jerusalem is  in  torn,

Wars  fought, conflicts   mounted up,

Blood  was shed, be it  Lord  Krishna  

In the battlefield, or   be it the son  of    

 Bethlehem when  crucified,  Reason  did  not 

Rule  even   Trojan   war; Kingly blood was

Shed  when Ravana did not  yield  to  his  conscience,  

Due to his  uncompromising  attitude .

Hospitals  wanting  blood, hostility throwing  blood.

Blood  does not proclaim  it is my blood.

Your  blood, his blood , but  body, blood banks

Group blood, yet when shed, it is frozen

As man’s congealed  heart.
