Sins of our fathers

This is a title which is clearly a manipulation of language, due to exposure from our school song (at Royal College, Colombo) "School of our fathers".

And also it was influenced by my favorite second world war film "Flags of our fathers" (2006) directed by Mr. Clint Eastwood, reflecting the American soldiers battle experience in the Japanese island of Iwo Jima.

And also this is referred to the personal computer game, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, sixteenth campaign mission, "Sins of the Father", in which the main character must chase down Victor Zakhaev, the son of Imran Zakhaev, the main antagonist of the gameplay.

'Sins of the Father' or 'Sins of the Fathers' also derives from Biblical references (primarily in the books Exodus, Deuteronomy, and Numbers) to the sins (or iniquities) of one generation passing to another. The idea has been conveyed paraphrastically into popular culture.
In my prose/poem fused expression of language, this will reflect the plight of the current and future generations that must suffer due to the mistakes of our earlier generations. This is not political or real life.

It's an emotional response.

I have seen time pass through our life with sadness, losses, happiness and victory.......

Still there is something missing.....

We can't have that perfection we crave like the others.....

They did wrong. Now they laugh at us because of them.

They with ignorance and madness swallowed everything leaving us to dust.

Now dust creates a storm suffocating us.....

Oh' why did you do this....

It hurts to the core.....

Pain builds and accumulates......

Futureless men looks forward as if life has gone into wilderness......

And is lost and will never come back....

We pay for your sins and death stares at us.....

Farewell for we may fight through it......

With fear, hate and sorrow......

An eternal curse.....
