THE WAR

The War
==============================
We need a pair of wings
to soar in the luminous skies
and a pair of legs
to walk on the verdant terrain,
then why do you furnish arms
offering dread, agony & harsh restraint,
Who demands blood,
a hardened heart and unyielding soul ?

We require esteemed brotherhood
to guarantee our unity,
tranquil existence
and essential civility for our dignity,
then why do you impart ire,
impart brutality,  turbulence & savagery,
who likes a bleak & desolate earth,
a barren land and a moonless dark night.

You may need a slendid palace, 
a world of selfish kingdom, 
and an ocean of fabricated tales to wage war, 
But we merely need a small pond 
to swim across, a leafy tree for making nest, 
and a pot to cook our bread & butter; 
when you will be trying to make your crown 
after melting our future, 
it is sure you will be no where.

Life is an entralling story 
not an engineered pun,
history says,
those who traded other‘s blood in litre
their poison blood drained out in ton.
