20) War

(20) War
Should we enter into war?
war to counteract the baser instincts?
bloodthirsty instincts of terrorism ,
must we not muster courage to war
with the warring animal instincts?
are we not to mar real warriors
who kill the innocent and ebullient?
Should we not to fight with the
Terriers of terrorism ?
Should we adhere to the adage
‘tooth for tooth, eye for eye’?
or can we give a long rope
under the garb of non-violence?

Bomb shells scattered, innocent victims crushed
like rotten tomatoes, thrown away;
eyes to see the eye-sore of humanity?
Soaked in a pool of blood?
choked by billowing smokes and smithereens?
Victims of masterminded ,hostile hounds
Who strike terrorism ?
Did God give blood only to be split around?
and congealed to be exposed to the air?
did God breathe life into us to be
extinguished untimely and premature?
the question shakes many nations and superpowers?
Peace-loving and serious –minded,
to make is difficult, but to make is easy,
to warp is God’s , but to war is man’s.
