War On Humanity

All over the globe the number of dead are increasing A bomb here, a bomb there, its no more surprising Few faces of evil and cruelty Seem to be creating havoc for the majority None seem to be spared In their success to spread hatred No more shall the mind be without fear A blast or killing could happen anywhere near No more shall there be a welcome smile to a stranger As the scared mind would signal a danger No more elation at a fire cracker bursting As the mind would say it could be a horrible bombing If allowed to spread their sinister tentacles The terrorists would create an unwanted spectacle No more shall we have The cool breeze from the wonderful seven seas No more shall we have The dazzling vibrant colours of the rainbow No more shall we have The smell of peace from the seven continents The hanging sword of terror shall only leave Barren land surrounded by repelling red blood coloured sea. The news show sight of woman, orphaned children crying Without a fault their innocent relatives are dying “War against terror” !! Seems big lies as people see only hardships, suffering and cries All we see is the drying up of tears from their eyes But wonder, when and how they would again start their lonely lives? Why is there no war against poverty Why no war against illetracy Why no one to fight the war against hunger And why no one to fight War on AIDS, the biggest danger Why are they using their ability To fight this WAR ON HUMANITY. I close my eyes to say a prayer to God Give them some sense, oh lord!! To those who have treaded on a wrong path WAKE UP!! Stop this horrible blood bath Please give up hatred, stop this revengeful dance I plead, Please give peace atleast one last chance…..
