erasure poem: a Poetic History Janet Kuypers 3/16/17 These are selected English words from Sri Sri’s Telugu poem “Desa Charitralu” (translated to ‘Histories of the Nations’). history proud of exploitation of others history an exercise in mutual destruction history drenched in the blood of war history made slaves of the meek murders climbed to glory entire past is wet with blood if not, with tears decimated populations echo history connivance   jealousies   conflicts prove the course of history grand murderers and thugs built a bridge of swords to time artificial laws with other forces fell down as houses of cards The deception the heinous crimes of the mighty the schemes can’t be allowed exploitation of one person by another one race by a different race can’t go on All the down-trodden peoples the different races of all continents will broadcast in one voice the true nature of history Which battle took place? Which kingdom lasted how long? the dates, the documents these are not the essence stories hidden under the dark corners of history are wanted truth won’t hide by being hidden In the twilights of history what was the development of the human? What achieved grand truth? Which sculpture? What literature? Which science? What music? Which renunciation? Which dream?
