Poems : Dedicated To American People And Their President
Jetty Singh
I cannot stand fanaticism of any shade or any kind. On September the eleventh, I just finished writing my poem ‘Cosmic Gestations’ when at about 2 pm, my wife Jaslin asked me to watch the TV. Towers were burning and I was shaking with anger, sadness and shame. I was crying and crying… Early next morning I wrote ‘Invincible Spirit’ and went to US Embassy to sign the Book of Condolence and handed over the poem to the Embassy people.
I wrote these poems under extreme anguish, feeling of anger and excruciating pain. I feel that Morpheus must have induced a morose kind of trance. I call it ‘Morrotic Trance. It took some time for ‘it’ to die out. It died out with poem ‘Dust to Dust’. These poems are not against anyone but the terrorists of all kinds and creeds.
I want my poems on New York terror to be read by maximum numbers of fellow Americans. They should know that they were not alone in their terrible hour of tragedy and Spiritual need. We too suffered equally and more and are their comrades in pain and anguish-- Jetty Singh
GOD
OUR MASTER’S
WONDROUS CREATION
Perfect Precise Elaboration
PROVIDER’S PROVISION
Planned Illusory Vision
MASTER
Provided Light
For us to Reflect Realize
To sustain our life
To sort out What we see
Wrongful Wicked Righteous Right
We see naught the mountain Or it’s height
But
Mere reflected light
Lest we grope in darkness
Gave us Eyes Mind’s Sight
Gave us naught one
But two Lamps Yond and nigh
The Moon and The Sun
One for the day One for the night
Sun the burning star
Hundreds time larger
Hundreds time afar
So that we don’t get burnt
Torched or Scorched
Or
In anyway bear the Brunt
Only get The Light
For our Sight
And
For our Life
From The Furious Exploding Star
Placed Millions Miles Apart
And
The Moon
Reflection Bright so dear
Hundreds time smaller
Placed it so thus near
Illusionary Play or Illusory Game
Or
Is it purely our Gain
This Sunset and Sunrise
Their Movement and Their Size
The Perspective and Surprise
These Celestial Games
Providing Unending Mirth
And Joyous Swoon
From Our Earth
Circumferences look the same
Of
The Sun and The Moon
The said Joyous Swoon
Our Sun Our Moon
INVINCIBLE SPIRIT
All humans are equal
Some behave like beasts
Though people are aflame
Couldn’t care in the least
First burn them
Then dance applaud and feast
Since beasts can’t build or create
They go to New York to destroy devastate
Torching humanity
Ditching sanity
Soulless Unholy Bloodlust Curdling
Towers are burning
Thousands miles away
Millions heart churning
Cold-blooded Satanic Fire-breathing spray
One-sided Misguided Lopsided fray
Every pore Of mine From the core
Is Weeping Crying
People are ablaze in New York
In London I am dying
But
I rise and pray
To
ALMIGHTY
To forgive me for my anger For my hateful display
Forgive monomaniac’s brutal frenzy
Their barbaric credendum Dogmatic tragic play
Their Funeral Pyre of hatred
“Heavenly” mission “sacred”
Hear me hear me let me yell
No refuge for ye This Planet Heaven or Hell
Hear ye hear
Ye think
Muster all you mental stink
That by torching the towers
Ye conquer the World
Wrest the power
And
Ye think
World shall cower
Desperate nutcases nutting nuttance *
No more bigotry theological uppance
For your
Aggrandizing self glorifying so-called nuances
World doesn’t give halfpenny or a twopence
Hear ye hear ye hear
Merchants of death gore and drugged high
Despite your venomous efforts to bring End nigh
Human Spirits Soar and Ascend
Higher and High
Instead of One Hundred and Ten
WORLD TOWERS
Shall now rise
To
HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE
* Madness (Derived from nutcase)
A heartfelt tribute to American people their courage, true grit and their unconquerable spirit;
their country and their brave, courageous and straightforward President George W. Bush, who was crying in Washington, I was crying with him
in London.
Jetty Singh
Comrade in pain and anguish.
Dedicated to American people and their President George W. Bush.
On 13.09.2001 at U.S. Embassy, London (UK)

ANGELS OF THE TOWERING HEIGHTS
September The Eleventh’s Night
Towering Carnage Fiendish Nigh
My heart leapt out of my body Soul melted in Flight
To face MY MASTER To ask millions why’s
i saw in The Burst of Light Angels of The Towering Heights
Basking in Love Divine In State Beatified
My questions went asunder In Divine Effulgent Tide
i bowed down humbly and supplicating asked
“MASTER”
Where we come from We are different All Sixes and Sevens
But these Angels look the same
Down There We Hear British Indians Finnish Americans
Divisive Different Names
“MASTER”
Said i
My tongue i have lost But last question may i ask
Where are those humans of the ‘Heavenly Missions’ ‘Sacred Holy’ tasks
MASTER SPAKE
Those were not humans but beasts Were wearing human masks
For those beasts No room Here or any other Space
Four legged beasts eat grass Give milk Ambrosia
Two legged beasts terrorise Give tears Salient phobias
I
Gave you all A volitional will A free thinking mind To Learn and Earn To Love and Unite
Sent down The Prophets Various places From Time to Time
To flush out The Dross Recharge your Minds
To spread my Message Love Respect Tolerance End All Strife
Ignorant souls volatiles Will collide and connive Ignite destruction blazing sites
But
No Fear No Anger Chin Up No Slight
This is how some humans evolve ‘Learn’ ‘yearn’ ‘deploy’
Their pitiable “Sacred” Ploy
Create Destroy Sing and Cry Experience Pain and Joy
My Teaching Aids For them For you
Up to humans To take or not to take the Cue
THAT
All Nations All Languages All Religions are equal All Mine
Sent Down Religions Languages Prophets To Serve ME By Serving Humankind
And Remember
Human who Swears by ME Kill naught any human
Impose naught his way Nor Encroach on others Except only a daemon
Holy Naught The Killing Neither Holy War
War a necessary evil Root out ruddy evils
Suppression Oppression Tyranny Wherever Far Afar
BUT
Avenge Naught Compassion Mercy Content Revenge Naught
Forgive and Forget
YET
Be Humble Be Firm Be Ever on Your Guard Cautious Awake Agog
Let this World’s Conscience Jog
Dogmatic Flaming Neros
When beasts go astray Foaming Burning Wroth
The Blazing Ground Zero
Blazing Land of Nod
Sadly Wisely Quietly With very heavy heart
Got to put them down those raving mad dogs
TRUE WARRIORS
These Days
Martyrs grow out of slaughter
Kill Desecrate Desolate
Then hope
After the Massacre
To sail through Heaven’s Gate
Martyr is him Slew Bias Bigotry Hate
Gives up his life Strangers To purely Save
Like Knights of New York
No Shining Armour
Except the Fire Tenders
Ardent Tender Ardour
And
Very Tender Hearts
Those Warriors of New York
When Towers were burning
Humans hurling down
People rushing out They were rushing in
Without FEAR Without FROWN
Those Warriors of New York
Saving All Human Lives
Are you Muslim Are you Christian Or a Jew Never Ask
True Warriors True Martyrs Truer Holier Task
Foundation of Religion
Live
Mercy Love Compassion
‘Forgiveness’ What ye give
Naught Killings Rampant Violence
Revenges Continuum Trap
Remove that Foundation Religion will Collapse
Killers lack The Mercy Sadly Killers Take the Rap
That’s why Terrorists have no religion
Attack innocent civilians
Lowly Sunk Morally Defunct Lowest Human’s Crap
Delirious Demagogic Marauding Simians
British Sikhs Indian Sikhs American Sikhs There are Fijian Sikhs a few
There are American Jews British Jews and Coptic Jews a few
There are British Muslims Pak Muslims American Musalmaans*
REMEMBER YE
Defend the country Where ye Live Where ye now belong
Proudly wear ‘Badge of Honour’ You are not a
“NAMAK HARAAM”**
When ye migrate Leave yer land
Settle in a Foreign Land
And
Call it yer Own
Raise yer children Earn yer living Do fair Bidding Build yer Home
Equal benefits Rights Freedoms Foreigner Myth Blown
REMEMBER
When enemy attacks that land
YOUR LAND
‘Ground Zero Zone’
A Heart Ripping Hole
For life Make them run
Defend it with
Life Heart and Soul
With yer Daughter With yer Son
Be it rightly widely known
That
Ye are Defending
Your Country Your People
That
In any war
Upheaval
THEY ARE NOT ALONE
DEDICATED to the fire fighting knights, heroes from NYPD and thousands of emergency services heroines, who gave their
lives so that others can live. And, their leading, untiring and caring knight Mayor of New York Rudolph W. Giuliani,
who has, by his selfless service, earned the title of right honorable gentleman Rt. Honorable Rudolph W. Giuliani is what he should be known from now on.
And, his equally brave, untiring knights, collegues..
With utmost humility and gratitude, on behalf of the grieving humanity. Sharing your pain and anguish and saluting you for all you did for your fellow humans.
Fire Fighters raise the U.S. flag.
GODLESS ACTS OF TREASON
Wearing mask of Piety Mouthing Religion
Carrying seeds of Hate and Death The Cold Heartless Daemons
Sanctifying own Killings Their Godless acts of Treason
Call them naught or anyone else A heathen
For a very simple reason
That
They cannot see THE ONLY ONE or Realize that HE Resides In everyone’s bosom
Everyone’s Heart They unfortunately see naught
Our GOD Our MASTER Our LORD
Like butter is present in the milk We see naught
Like Fire Ever present in Forests Tree Logs
We can see naught
Enigma kneads The Mystery Mystery keels The Riddle
Call naught anyone Infidel
Infidel is he Who kills the innocent
Dance to dead tunes His death song’s fiddle
Malignant ‘Holy’ Musty Mutants
Soulless Cold ‘Numb’ ‘sleepers’ Venomous Slimy Creepy Creepers
Malefic Maligning Violent Quintessence
Infesting Land of Honey Land Blest Thin veil of conniving Guests
Low lying Human Sludge
Slyly Lying Flying Pretexts
To slurp the Host’s Blood
Ungrateful Bounders Parasites
Harrumphing Yearning Paradise
Them Human Parasites
Humans Regions Religions Are all equal
Why be Selfish Myopic and Solely
A Sequela Antonym Sequel
WHAT IS HOLY
i simply don’t understand
That only ye exist Or yer Personal Holy land
Britain America India Zulu Land
ALL BELONG TO MASTER
Whole Earth Is His Holy Land
Ye talk about Infidels in yer Holy Land
By same token
Ye or i be dubbed Heathen In Spain America Finland
i wanna echo mine grievances Lest these go out of hand
We chose to live in Britain By Faith A Christian State
My Muslim Brothers built Mosques Quite Rightly Get everything we ask
We built temples of every different Faith
Enjoy complete Freedom to Preach Worship Celebrate
About Time
Britain and rest of the World MUST enjoy same Dignity same Freedom
In our Mother Countries Our self created Kingdoms
Our Independent States
Or
Be ready to lose Our Face
And
The Grace
Of
THE MASTER
Who Graciously Came in my Thoughts
SPAKE HE
These days the words ye write
Are angry bitter and dry
MASTER
Said i
i am very sad Very often i cry
MASTER SPAKE
Do naught display hate slight or anger
For thou art MINE
Positively No Rancour
Look Up Heal and Shine
Do naught speak the language of Beelzebub
Talk
Write only about Love
THE ENEMY
When Towers are torched
Humans burnt scorched
Searing Hearts Souls right through the bone
Grieve silently Hide tears
For the precious human loss
Let thy grief Heart’s wounds Be naught shown
For the raiding tribal clans
Lest these be wasted on people with no heart
The Slaying human Dross
Cos’ they would never ever never understand
They would like ye in panic and mired ye to think
That they have taken charge Now they the real boss
Your Life Terror’s Vice
They Control
Don’t let them ever bloat For never let them gloat
Or
Allow those antiquated motes
Make ye villien for life
To bruise your Psyche
To cruise your Mind
Or hurt your Soul
LET THE SPIRIT SOAR AND SOAR
Never pay any tribute to cowardice
Cos’ Yours is a True Warrior’s Might
For ye never stab in the back Then hide
Like some people with No Honour Do
Ye challenge them first Then Fight
Defend only what is Right
Like Honourable Medieval Knights
Used to Do
To show the cowards ‘Light’ They first Always had to fight
To unveil True meaning of their Name
When faced with so-called enemy
Starved Oppressed Shattered Tattered in the Shame
Those Knights fought the oppression
Fed all the starving Defended all the lame
They sought Fought The tyrant The daemons
Not ‘the enemy’
There were NO ENEMIES Only Humans
Just Like us
ALL Through ALL SAME
TRUE JEHAD
ALLAH YAHEWA GOD
Different Names of
SAME SUPREME LORD
THE ONLY ONE
Humans
Different Nations
Variant Names
Their Aspirations
Destination is the Same
We Are One
Like Ocean Waves All Different
Ocean is One
The One and The Same
Like Separate Each One
The Rays
Same Source Same Sun
The One and The Same
Hurt Hate Shun
If ye hurt anyone
Ye Hate
THE ONLY ONE
For
HIM and he The Same
If ye kill torch devastate
In America India Afghanistan
Terrorizing Marauding Morons
Ye kill and destroy i
His slave
And
Ye Hate
THE ONLY ONE
For
HIM and i The Same
THE MASTER
and HIS knave
MASTER
Merciful Pure Love All Compassionate
Omniscient Omnipotent All Pervades
Lend me yer ears
Love HIM Naught Fear
Fear of GOD
Will steal the Smiles Kill the Joy Rob the Grace
Off yer face
Love of GOD
Will fill yer Life Nectar’s Flow Spiritual Glow
MASTER’S Grace
Will Lit thy face
Message of Peace and Love
“A People
Whom HE Love
Will Love All The People
As
They Love
HIM”*
HIS MESSAGE
Is loud and Clear
LOVE HIM NAUGHT FEAR
Spread Love Spread Joy Serve Humans ye lowly bard
Let Rays of Love Lit yer heart
Hit ye Hard
And
Cleanse
Yer Hate Smitten Heart
Terror Stricken Soul
Let This Be Your True Jehad
ONLY

* From Holy Qu'ran, Sura (Chapter) V, Verse 57
DUST TO DUST
Cows eat grass chew cud and sleep
Will go where you take them
Weeping Laughing Beef
Low Flat High Scales High Steep
But
Humans Won’t
Coz’ they are Humans Naught sheep
In MASTER’S Universe
Everything is planned
Has its proper place
Souls are scanned
At appropriate stage
Pure Matter
Vegetable Kingdom Animal Kingdom
Human Race
Highest Is
ALL PERVADING GRACE
GOD
OUR MASTER
THE WONDROUS LORD
SELF EMANATED VENERATION
HIS WONDROUS CREATION
Plants take birth
From the womb of Mother Earth
Nourish Provide Swoon Decay and Die
From
Dust To Dust
Animals have brains but no Conscience or High Jinks
Awareness limited to ‘physical self’ No ‘mental high’
Have feelings but no Precepts Only Animal Instincts
To kill In order to Survive To Provide and Multiply
Afore graduating to Human Life
They have to Live and Die
In order to Rise
And
To Merge
From
Dust To Dust
Humans are Blessed with Free Mind A Conscience and A Volitional Will
So that they use their Mind Naught to Destroy or Kill
MASTER
Planted Compassion Love and Tolerance
A Triune Dictum
Instinctual Precepts’ Highest Convictions
Sadly
Humans are addicted to Animal Addictions
To Wreak Havoc Preach Terror Reap Afflictions
And
Regress back to Animal Kingdom
Where
There is no tolerance
No Rivers of Love and Compassion
Only Fire
Of Animal Passions’
Flow and Hellish Mire
When River turn to a Stream
Stream turn to a trickle
Soul dries of Love
Heart turns fickle
Love Shorn Hearts
Love Lost Humans
All Created of
Air Water Fire Sky Earth
Lost Humans Labyrinth’s Snare
Neither Here Nor There
Neither Hearse Nor Hearth
Hateful Plenty Lovelorn Dearth
From
Dust To Dust
For
Love Drought Hearts
Life’s Continuum Cycle
Never Stops
They have to go back
For
A
Brand New Start
Or
A
Brand New Heart
YELLOW PATCH*
When they can’t find any living targets
They don’t Stop Think or Hesitate
Just blow Buddha of Bamiyan
In Modern Afghanistan
And Celebrate
The Desecration of Religion and Heritage
These Talibaans of the Modern Age
Poor Talibaans
My heart weeps for them
Soul is crying
For Ignorant
Stone Dead Minds
Religion means
Love Respect Tolerance
Naught
Hectoring Dominance
Or
Drowning Numerically Few
In
Your Hysterical Drugged Drone
Everybody doesn’t have to be your copy
Your clone
Of
The Same Kind
Deceased Minds
Religion Means
Freedom Dignity Equality
Naught
Suppression Oppression Brutality
Or
Dogmatic Fanatical Similarity
GOD our MASTER
Blessed Humans with
Free Mind
Contemplating Thoughts
Beliefs of all Kind
Even He Doesn’t Intrude our Thoughts
Invade sovereign Minds
Enters only by invitation
How dare these mental pygmies
Taint People with Intimidation
How Dare
They force
My People
Coerce
My People
In GOD’S Name
To wear Yellow Patch
Cover their own Shame
Those Hacking Wracks
This Yellow Badge
Shameful Historical Patch
Transports me back
To
The night of The Broken Glass
DIE CRYSTALNACAHT
When
MY PEOPLE
Were forced to Display
In
That Irreligious Fray
The Yellow Badge
The Same
Shameful Historical Patch
We have travelled so far
Yet covered no distance
In
This Instance
Or
That Instance
Same Yellow Patch
Same Hecking
Soul Wrecking Hatch
* Written on the eve of Blowing up ‘The Bamiyan Budha’ at Bamiyan, Afganistan by the Taliban.
CULTURAL REVOLUTION
Co-ordinator Director At times Inimical
Conscious mind is as physical
As your hands and feet
Controller of your bodily fleet
The Mind The Body
Snow from Heavens Fallen Sleet
At times letting you down Mind the dodgy
Driven by greed
Makes you work overtime
Mind The Sublime
Tired Hyperactive Overheat
Despite Wealth Fame and Spite
Bogged down with Monotony Boredom Fatigue
Cries for rest relief Respite
‘Coz a mind fatigued
Is like a car driven by a human fast asleep
Mind tired fatigued
A dying tree without any life’s lustre leaf
Rationale Sanity fled
Mind intellectually dead
That’s why
Poets Philosophers Artists Thinkers
Are in eternal gratitude
Without doubts or blinkers
To manual workers All Artisans
Entire Multitude
For taking all drudgery sprung Spawned
Sparing them trudgery absurd
Letting them live and die in their own dream world
But
If ye want to stage another Cultural Revolution
Like Mao did
The ‘perfect’ party’s solution
Equalise Creativity Verily rid
And
If ye want to improve upon
Ye can join Talibaans
Then destroy Budha of Bamiyan
Ransack entire Afghanistan
Destroy Museums Stop the music Burn the books
Strafe yer people with bullets Holes
Then hang bodies on the hooks
Crush spirits Imprison Their Souls
