Deadly games

NafisaSB

When politicians play their game

They are definitely to blame

For the innocent lives that are lost

Of which, they, rarely calculate the cost..

 

Land grabbing is really old

Avarice and greed abound

In the senseless wars being fought

Mostly ordinary people are caught.

 

Terrorism is bad

The consequences are sad

When eyes bleed with tears

They cause immense fears

 

When will the leaders wake up

And see the havoc caused ?

Will uncertainly always prevails

As to when this slaughter will stop ?

 

We, the people, should unite

To put an end to this horror

Raise our voice in anger

Raise our voice in sorrow.

 

One conflict after another

Puts us all to shame

If land grabbing is the only way

It’s surely a dirty game.

 

Peacekeeping forces cannot act

If violence does not retract

We can only pray

That we, too, don’t go astray

 

Peace is sorely needed

For war always spells disaster

Yes, peace is truly precious

And it’s what we should hanker, after

 

When big nations play their games

The small and feeble suffer

So let’s try to stop the tide

Before it gets extremely rougher
