Despair in time of war


War by any name still is war,

All just suffering and misery, just despair...

There lies no path to peace ,where disconnected weapons reign,

Where rulers just parrot their few words, devoid of life,

Devoid of feeling the drones and missiles become just a game,

All on a bland screen, but the weapons do move , for the seller : all just profits,

Political games where people are again just numbers..


Be it here or there ;words do not take away  the nightmares,

Do not remove the 'poothans', be it from a past life ,

Of flames creeping across the walls ,yes for this toddler,

Where you feel the sponginess in  the water, in your dreams ,

You fear the water, for the doughy bodies piled , 

Of those who never had a chance , at life or at  anything but death!

They were just numbers, just collateral damage ...


If only there is hope for peace, not the despair of todays and tomorrows...
