S.Zaynab Kamoonpuri Poet Dramatic Monologue

Down With the War Mongers

Wars round the corner, 
wars at every bend
Could it be that all this 
warring would never 
ever end? 
Why can't we borrow 
love and peace too learn 
to lend? 
For peaceloving persons 
wars are hard to 
comprehend
But in which blessed 
century will the world 
it's ways amend? 
Why not be all sincere 
when peace we readily 
send? 
To our lives defend why 
do we opt to offend? 
Why can't we all as 
Adam's progeny simply 
unite and blend? 
The world's tearing 
apart, which saviour's 
gonna mend? 
When the scissors of 
tyranny all peace efforts 
ruthlessly rend! 
When will all the saviours 
from heavenly heaven 
descend? 
So we watch and hear all 
war cries unto thin air 
ascend! 
When peace be the only 
choice, the only probable 
trend! 
Ah instead of fending 
off war drums why 
peace plans off we 
fend? 
Why peace so 
complicated and double 
standards at every 
bend? 
Will all state treasuries on 
aggression alone their 
budgets spend? 
Why can't every foe we 
know turn into a caring 
friend?
So we're stalked by 
friendship
and ambushed by love 
godsend! 
A world where warlords 
and war heroes become 
zeroes
who in the first place did 
offend.
With peace may no 
nation merely play and 
pretend!

Bl Devnath February 28, 2014 at 8:12 AM Love can be cultivated in the mass of heart with true sense of humanity only I feel individually. When all the people will think this World as own material home and feel the guests of each others, then only it may be possible to have the war ended. Beautiful thoughts, my poet friend. Loved always, bl

Nocturnal Poet February 5, 2014 at 11:51 AM A VERY WELL WRITTEN POEM REALLY NICE AND THANKS FOR COMMENTING ON MY POEM......

Bl Devnath February 2, 2014 at 8:02 AM Pain of one is joy of other, ideology and definitions differ. So, perhaps war will never end. Only the true consciousness of peace for humanity may help here. You have a great heart. Loved always, my friend, bl

Paddi March January 28, 2014 at 4:28 AM Oh S I agree with every word of your sentiments and i feel that it is the poets job to keep on saying this time after time after time. however i think a change in human Nature is a long way off and i suspect that we can't do it. About the poem .... I think you said it all in about 3 or 4 verses. I think your poem is too long I think you achieve more and get more readers if brevity is the soul of your punch! Very good work!

Scott Thirtyseven January 25, 2014 at 8:55 PM Absolutely, Peace is the goal for which we must all strive.

Erich Goller January 25, 2014 at 11:56 AM All wars are hell,it's time for mankind to wake up.That's a very heartfelt expressed poem, Thanks for sharing it, God bless you. Erich

Dr. Upma A. Sharma January 25, 2014 at 8:07 AM Very nicely penned Zaynub ! Really the most civilised species at war, Not against any other form but his own, why ??

Ayesha Akhtar January 25, 2014 at 2:23 AM This is an excellent poem about the sad and unfortunate truth of the world we live in today . The only solution available is peace. Which we have to find inside ourselves . May be we'll find it someday.
