I Am Very Much Perturbed

Kids are their game for bargain
Innocence they rape for freedom
They are the men of honor of today
Are we not ashamed of our lives?

Men of intellect ,rise
keep your dreams aside
Dip your quills in the right
Keep a gun at your left
March thru bullets and missiles
Bring peace to the world
Lest our children die
Immature deaths

Know you be their parent with a will
And a love bound promise to keep
They have shed the innocent blood
The darkest stain on man kind ever

Men of intellect ,rise
Fasten your girdle to march on
There is a war on angels
For the dove of peace is bleeding
The life giving blood is wasted
The more we wait the more we die

Honor has only one death
Death for a cause and death for love
Love your enemy if enemy you know
hate the enemy if they act as friends
for love penetrates not on covetous hearts
for love wasted is the biggest sin.

Our neighbors in the USA have had so many mass shootings in the last number of years. It feels like the world is infected by insanity.

I wrote long long back when school children were shot dead by terrorists in Pakistan years back. But things haven't changed yet is the reason I shared it. Thanks

##Men of intellect ,rise keep your dreams aside Dip your quills in the right## I agree.. ##Keep a gun at your left## But this line i totally disagree.. It should not come from a poet.. Good poem..

Perhaps a gun on the left is best as it cannot be drawn as quickly.
