Losing The War

Diverse race, religion, sex, gender, caste and creed We are,
Despite that, We have come together so far.

Every God tells us to live alongside,
Yet We let even the minute difference push us away from each other wide.

Chasing power and not harmony,
We have not yet learnt from the lessons taught to us by Germany.

In killing and terrorizing some nations take pride,
The blood keeps flowing but has never dried.

Our silence is the cause of suffering,
Yet We are engrossed in our phones despite our minds buffering.

We are like a beautiful bird with different colours of feather,
Why can’t We keep aside the differences and come together?

Wars and bloodshed must cease,
If not, will our children know the meaning of peace?

Every life on this planet is worth and must not be played with like a toy,
We aspire to cry together basking in the tears of joy.

Every atrocity will be, by Him, accounted for,
Humanity can only win by losing the war.
