War and Peace

by Vidhya : Leo - Not entered

People begging for coup d'e grace
men,water,food, every thing scarce
earth, shattered blood every where
millions dying with no one to care.

What is it man, what is it?
for mere power you just split?
tears like blood in every one's eyes,
is that what your army tries?

Does it do any thing good?
stop it man if you could 
destroy this evil spell
if it comes, the world is a hell.

Dead and rotten bodies lie
often what people pass by
floating on sea and on land
is that all what you demand?

As brave as a lion 
your soldiers come,
as dead as a door nail 
they lie in a huge sum!

We want peace, we want peace
let the new world of joy release
but many lie in groups of hundreds
man! don't you see you are in a mess?

There is fire in everyone's heart
is there no way for it to depart?
In anxiety to see their beloved one
come back home..but there came none

Does it do anything good?
stop it man if you could
let peace regain in this earth 
to a new world of rejoicing birth.

Reason for writing:

    After our teacher taught the leson the second world war
I was very much touched by the death of millions of people and wrote this poem.
