A teary tribute

Long long ago even before Computer was born , we humans had started to build machines of malice and destruction . We had heard about the Crusades , WW- I & II and many countless instances of such wars whose repercussions was immense on life on earth. I really wonder how one could be that foolish ! What joy does one experience by slaining others and hoarding everything possible ! Life is about sharing one’s joys and woes and definitely not enjoying at one’s cost . It is Satanic .

I am forced to ask this myself – Is life any better than those dreaded days ages ago ? I knew I would readily nod in disapproval. All the marvelous discoveries did make a difference in our lives and also along with it proliferated the destructive machines and the terror attacks . It now calls for introspection to just stop all these activities and unanimously extend one’s support towards attaining peace all over.

We have had many instances of mass extinction and I seriously wouldn’t want Homo Sapiens to perish and be an exotic creature of yester era . Peace alone can do the magic !

I would like to present a poem which I’d written two years ago , on the 66th Anniversary of Hiroshima & Nagasaki Day and also in the wake of the recent Oslo attacks and Mumbai Serial blasts .

Pristine country of ours , unsullied ,
Through the ages , rose the dictating terrorism
Smoke rising high with blasts frequently everywhere
Red pools of blood trickling against
Innocent shedding away tears

Staining , paralyzing the country’s dignity
These blood sucking terrorists , their ideals satanic
Grappling the people
Have badly crippled the nation
Women and men shedding away drops for their dear ones

Let peace be the word spread all over with its overtaking wings
Let not the world shed tears anymore
Let the insane of the sanest mend their baser ideals
Let not the brandishing swords of peace get tarnished by
Let not the unruly rule over , instead pause and think over

Chirpy children , diligent and old
Lie down cold and dead
Each dead soul a monument
Alerting the rest , terror an act of cowardice
Plunge and thwart it out

Hail for that day when peace alone over rides
Awake , arise ! terrorism ain’t a part of evolution
Let peace and only peace stride over
Let chains of terrorism get waded away
May the wish we all wish come true

Its two years now since I’d written this poem and this period only saw many terror attacks and peace still seems rudimentary and a distant reality ! Let peace not be a mirage anymore .

Hoping for a better world , I sign out hailing , ‘’Peace be unto you , Shalom !’’
