Selfish ego Of War


Contest by Craig Cornish

SELFISH EGOS OF WAR

             “ Everything is fair
                in Love and War.”

               Why It is said so ?
                Root cause is Ego.
              ‘Ego’ is itself selfish : No doubt.
              Self -Centred : Absolute .

          Most condemned word is “WAR “ !
          No explanation is needed  : Most clear !
          Mainly to overpower other
          Races, Nations, those are 
           weaker !
          Whatever :
         Only Common people are sufferers.
  
          Tormentors are Invaders  !
          Mostly political Leaders.
          No wonder !
          Entire blame goes to administration -
           obstructing progress of civilisation.

            Humans mainly fight
           violating human rights !

           War entwined with selfish ego
           somehow to forego ~

            Selfish Ego to demolish ….
           Peace and love to cherish !
          To attain perfect civilised world 
          From dictionary, remove the word
          ‘WAR’
         forever.
