Svaztika
Show the sign without fear!
Understand, don't just see,
For Svaztika , most the Westernized minds conjours evil.
Thinking the worst.
Every year, without any fear,
Hindu's celebrate the New comings of the year,
Their heads shaved , Svastika decoratively painted on,
For prosperity , the young and the dead.
Decorated ornaments from Indus Valley Civilisation to the Mediterranean Classical Antiquity ,
Svastika was a welcomed symbol of "good," or " auspiciousness."
Indian, Turkey, Nepal, China, Japan, Korea, and Europe were all seen to symbolise svastika.
Then...?
Western world kicked in.
1920 The Germans used it as a symbol of the Nazi Party of Germany, and carried on the Aryan race.
Soon to be morphed, to allow related concepts as antisemitism , violence , hatred, death, and murder to be associated with Nazism.
Now largely stigmatized there due to changing connotations of the symbol.
Try and see the bigger picture,
I ask of you all, 'Cause most, never do.
They're only born to fall..
Peace out all.
