Stop the War
Stop the war,
Pleaded the children
Eyes filled to the brim with
Despair as to how they can feel
Hope being destroyed with gloom
Stop the war
Else how will peace be celebrated
As the symbolic Goddess of Earth?
That which allowed us all
To smile at new dawns and to
Sigh contentedly at the onset of each dusk
Stop the war,
Time, days, territories, history, clans,
Belongings, thoughts, mindsets,
Everything comes and goes since
Nothing is permanent here in a world
Which gives us not the bliss
Of living forever!
Stop the war,
Violence remains futile
And the breaking of each innocent heart,
Accompanied with the spilling of each drop of blood
Shall be written somewhere in the karmic book of records
And it remains inevitable
That that which is sown is that which is reaped!
Stop the war, please,
Already troubled by a pandemic,
People want to allow their own selves
Some stable breathing space
Instead of being submerged in the fear of bombs
And the loss of lives!
Stop the war,
Since clinging on to the unnecessary
Shall merely pave the way
For the torch bearers of the Kali Yuga
To proclaim it loud and clear
That circumstances are shining forth in their favour!
