Why we are so casual to our mother planet ?
A life sustaining loner in the universe known till date
War is exclusive to humans and not for other species
Lion roars and hunts when its belly is empty
Then lets the Dear go, when not hungry
It has no hostility with a Dear or a Boar
While we the humans distinctly differ.
Since Gorillas, Chimps evolved into homo sapiens
Brain weight grew and the so-called intellect bloomed
Enmity and hatred took shelter in the minds of men
Excuses groomed for bigotry and sectarian strifes
Centuries passed and no lessons learnt from scars.
May be the largest military in the Mid East
Other side, a mighty super power of West.
Who will judge, who is right and who is wrong
The future pages of history will certainly record
When winners and losers alike rest in graveyard.
A closed-door hegemony crowns its self-styled commander
A handful will declare him as supreme leader.
Other side, an open free society nurtured democracy
Where the global talent, skill and intellect amalgamate
On toes to act as global police and ready to decimate.
B-2 bombers, Tomahawks for deep strikes
Missiles, Drones, interceptors, and blasts
Regime change, the choking point Hormuz strait
The war technology now discussed straight
In each and every household, world over
We watch television and internet how lion roars
and in every home, on every phone fury erupts
