To the universal laws
No one pays heed
War is a scourge
That reveals man’s greed –
The mighty flex their muscles
And trample over the weak
So many lives are lost
So many families torn
Unending is the hardship
That has to be just borne
Woeful is the trauma
That makes so many moan
But this struggle for power
Blinds statesmen one and all
The pacifists are ignored
No one responds to their call
Where will this trauma end
And how – is the need to know
And which will be the line
That countries need to toe
It really defies logic
How nations cannot find
A solution to this problem-
And keep taking these steps unkind
