Beneath The Veil Of Neutrality Poem by Dr.Suryaraju Mattimalla

ORS, draped in borrowed grace,
With banners of "care" on your glistening face-
Yet beneath your halls in Zurich, the whispers burn,
And in Bern and Lyss, the cold winds turn.
You preach of "neutral, " of balance, of peace,
Yet your daggers of bias shall never cease.



I walked through your doors, a soul to mend,
But you staged a theatre with no end;
Scarves and crescents adorned the walls,
While truth lay shackled in silent halls.
"Free Palestine" stickers your waiting rooms wore,
While hatred slithered through every door;
Songs of scorn for women and free minds rang,
While your workers danced in their tribal gang.



Company of care in written name,
Your acts and your masks are not the same.
Your nurses fumbled with hands of pride,
Mocked my wife, and turned aside;
Yet when their brethren stood nearby,
They smiled like suns beneath the sky.
Their tongues were honey, their eyes were knives,
Their creed their crown, not saving lives.



You scorned our greetings, "Namaste, "
And cursed the light of another way;
Your lips recite "rehabilitate, "
But your gaze declares: "assimilate."
In Switzerland's soil, where free hearts bloom,
You plant the seeds of a shadowed gloom.
Where once stood values bold and bright,
You drape them now in medieval night.



You mark the pig with a cross of shame,
Erase its soul to exalt your name;
Yet preach of "diversity, " "equal, the same, "
While fanning a deeply ancient flame.
You smile at law, yet scorn its core,
And call it "service" while closing the door
On Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, more-
On every faith not yours, ignored.



Serco's heir, beware the truth's refrain:
Your gilded masks will melt in pain.
For freedom breathes where truth runs wild,
Not where lies are soft and styled.
The West will rise, its banners high-
While your false "neutrality" fades and dies.
