War n Peace

War n Peace reflects on the devastation of war and the silent suffering of innocents, questioning power-driven conflicts and reaffirming faith in humanism as the only true path to peace.

I feel deeply pained, when I see precious lives lost, families shattered and tears unstoppable, wherever n whenever war happens across the globe. I am a believer that love can only bring nations and people together. Hatred and conflicts never bring peace.

A short poem "War n Peace" brings out some of my feelings:

It was all warmth, just yesterday,

Beautiful evenings, smiles all the way,

Smooth satin life, wind flew the hay,

Love across borders, endearing, I can’t say,

To lead the path, during dusk and day,

The 'chosen' faltered, lost the way,

Night is dark, heads bowing to pray,

Sis, bro, lovers, all parting away,

Masters of will, today broken hearts,

Families shattered, tears tearing apart,

The weapons of hate, falling night and day,

Love for motherland, can it take away?

Years of toiling, made a happy life,

Split of a second, everything’s gone by,

Didn’t do wrong, nor hate for any,

Why such eye, why killed so many,

So many displaced, so many seek refuge,

So many people will turn destitute,

So many dry eyes will wait at pathway,

So many have to deal with vicissitude,

Are the wars of commoners?

Or pseudo insecurities of the ‘Head’,

How to bring innocents back,

Alive in hearts, lay there dead,

Ersatz wins, arrogance and pseudo egotism,

Has brought down again n again, the 'Humanism',

Since time immemorial, wars and hostilities,

Emperors, majesties, no one got the peace! No one got the peace!
