Unending Wars
Unending wars
Heart rendering cries and war widows,
Innocent faces bound to lose their glow,
Why this war and bloodshed ?
To define boundaries on religion and race,
Confine it to bravery and conquer for grace,
What in return are we going to get ?
Best of minds putting up to destroy,
Aren't we leading a dead convoy ?
When do we rise above war for humanity sake ?
Why not cherish birth rather ending up life,
Shun destruction and put an end to strife,
Do we still need to ponder ?
His amazing creations and nature in hue and cry,
I can't even breathe, can slashed wings ever fly ?
Unless we intellectuals put an end to unending wars !!
