Arms and Man!

Fetters, fetters everywhere Tagore’s dream seen nowhere In the forest of human mind Hatred flames most unkind! Talk of venom all over None to offer safety cover Countless ploys launched across Innocent ones carry the cross! Missiles, men run amuck Borders bombed nearer home Lands run over, lives lost Tears trickle not, relief nowhere! Conflict zones far apart Softness fled human heart Craze to crush never on wane Bans impose not chains on thought! Where the forge, what hammer Why on earth spread chaos? Can’t folks breathe peace and love Why not stop demonic dance? Grounds differ, games are same Terror strikes sans any shame Rays of reason need show the way Arms allow not peace anywhere!
