Terrorist, the charged atom

Bleeding wound of humanity,
The source of various rivers and streams
Which silently adds blood to the red ocean.
Too much have been invested
In swelling up the red ocean
And in creating the debt to serve the poverty.
Bleeding wound, the serious problem
Not the red ocean.
The countless investment in fixing the red ocean
Is the wise idea of insane man,
And little investment in fixing the forgotten wound
Is the wise idea of wise man.
When the forgotten wound revives
Slowly the idea of fixing red ocean will step on its reality
And once again, on the face of nature
The deep blue ocean will smile.

[Richard Deodati]

Like a cryptic puzzle, Govinda Rimal weaves her poem, "Terrorist, the charged atom" around and around until she arrives at the intended truth where "the deep blue ocean will smile." Quite an interesting poem to read and solve. Thank You, Govinda Rimal!
