Poem-War and Peace

WAR AND PEACE

Peace, peace, peace

I was talking to my niece

About the horrors of war

And peace as need of the hour.

Peace is a symbol of prosperity

It can be said with authority

Peace means

Development and progress.

A pledge you’ll never transgress.

Peace is dear even to God

Who thinks war is a fraud,

War brings ruin and destruction

It smashes all construction.

War is a crime against humanity

Mass killings show man’s insanity.

It inspires awe and fear

Makes innocents devoid of cheer.

Follow the Buddha, Vivekananda and Gandhi

Who didn’t take blood and instead

They gave blood

And suffered for the sake of humanity.

Gandhi is called the apostle of peace

He brought solace to the suffering

His ‘empire’ wasn’t built

By force or fraud

Still he ruled over the hearts of all.

War is no solution

For problems of our creation

It’s a curse on mankind

We must bear it in mind.

Peace produces

Philosophers and saints

Who rule over the hearts of all

Whose deeds are written

In letters of gold

Therefore, grasp them in a tight hold.

So solve all problems peacefully

And ever live gleefully

Peace is always the golden rule

For prosperity it’s the best tool.
