Wordless Words

Wordless Words

Countless times of talking,  
On the prepared table of meeting,  
Killing is a sin and a silly action,  
A sin that brings sorrow and suffocation.  
Holy books wisely say:  
We are equal in all ways.  
Now look at how the world dismantles,  
A peace broken down into fumbles.  
Fire from far away, made by guns,  
Burning and sweeping away the innocents.  
What for? Possession and wealth?  
Not fair; speeches are not worth.  
They sound good and rhythmical,  
But bring no change in a circle.  
If everything is done to stop,  
Why are missiles still in prep?
