Best Poems Written by Ashok Chakravarthy Tholana

How Far Is It ?

The menacing clouds of war 
Often pounce to create havoc, 
The pigeons of peace 
Scared and scattered, fly away. 

The storm of hatred 
The storm of enmity 
The storm of death 
The storm of destruction, 
These devastating forces 
Design the ugly face of war. 
Men or women 
Children or youth 

Aged or the sick 
Rich or the poor; 
The ferocious WAR 
Without care and concern 
Without pity or parity 
Extends its biased hand 
Against the co-humans. 
Ignoring the path of truce 
The will and wish 
Of the super powers 
Ultimately would prevail. 
It is the co-human 
Who bears the brunt? 
It is an act inhuman 
That should be denounced. 
On whom ?
 Should the blame be put? 
On whom ?
 Should the outcome be focused? 
How far is it justified? 
To instill fear among citizens 
To enforce self-declared laws 
To massacre the innocents

To rain bombs on civilians 
To create mass destruction 
To treat civilians as criminals 
To aggressively destabilize nations?
