On war..

War is senseless -

War destroys

War kills

And yet

Meaningless though it is

Like the fight of small kids

It persists.

The only difference is:

Children do not have malice

They forgive

They forget

They bond again

And continue with their games

But –

War is a deadly game

That destroys mercilessly

And it is the innocent who suffer most

And -

Man’s greed is so intense-

For power, for land, and for pelf

That he will indulge in wars

Keeping common sense on the shelf.
