Shivashish Sah Poet Couplet

The Greatest Battle

We fought and killed many;

bombed innocent humanity.

We fought world wars two.

The battlefields are not new.

Tigers kill to satisfy hunger.

Humans have reasons other.

Men have a hunger of lust

to convert other to the dust

and to rule and to dominate;

we can inflict terror ultimate.

Endowed is glory very rare

to the brave, mighty soldier.

But true soldier isn't the one,

who can coldly kill a human.

The true battlefield is within.

There a true warrior can win.

The foes within are mighty:

Mightier than greatest army.

Lust, hatred, jealousy, anger

attack in the great war inner.

As intense as great intensity

of bombardment too mighty

is the terrible attack of lust.

It gives an insatiable thirst.

The heat of a bombardment

in a man's hatred is present.

Enviousness: deadliest foe

hits before one can know.

It is like blitz very sudden

and destroys compassion.

Intense like force of missile

is anger: the foe most vile.

There is only one arm rare

that can save in war inner.

It is that weapon of faith

for God, the soul ultimate.

With that weapon supreme

mankind can battle within

and defeat causes deadly

that leads to war, animosity.

When hatred, lust and envy

are defeated by man, totally

then outer war won't occur

harmony will stay forever.
