Sightless eyes
Piteous sighs
Soundless screams
Scary dreams
Is this the future
Sad and bleak
That we humans
For fellow beings seek?
Wounds have left
Indelible scars
Isn’t it high time
We end the wars ?

We are social creatures for this there are wars not just murders. It is most sad that some are perpetrators and others are victims. Well written
the perpetrators are smaller in number than the victims and yet spread indescribable terror , havoc and misery...that's the pity
There are always a few that spoil it for the many
yes indeed...
War is one of those things necessary for evolution .
is sit really? i wonder
A beautifully simple question, requiring the equally simple answer - yes! But how?
(I admire you for putting it out there so starkly. Thanks.)
i feel strongly about it, and feel so helpless too..
thanks for the feedback - have a beautiful weekend - take care

Yes - will.. should be great... You too.
Safina, this carries a strong, urgent message…images like “sightless eyes” and “soundless screams” set the tone, and the question you ask cuts right to it. It feels like both a warning and a plea for change. Powerful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
thanks for understanding the underlying message..
have a great weekend

Its long been high time that civilizations build technology that prevents wars instead of killing for oil/ land/ money with pretexts.

I share that dream so much it hurts .. I'm with you all the way and got your back covered .. Neville
thank you, and God bless you - may our prayers reach the Lord, and normalcy is restored...
Blind eyes and quiet screams—this is what we leave behind when we forget how to be human.
Feels like we’ve known better all along, just never had the nerve to stop.
The callousness and indifference never fails to amaze me. How they remain unmoved by unfolding tragedies is beyond my comprehension
Well written. Thank you for sharing.
thanks for understanding and your empathy
