In the memory of the victims of war
I wanted to write a sad poem
Poem did you say?
Say it all with teary-eyed expressions
Expressions of loss, pain
and helplessness
Helplessness in the name of ugly politics
Politics of hate, selfishness and lust
for power
Power to rule, power to vanquish, power to kill
Kill in the name of God, Justice
and Good
Good and war do not even rhyme
Rhymes lose their symbiosis
in the realms of terror
Terror never was the solution
nor ever will be
Be it for freedom fighters
or tormented souls
Souls that crave nourishment can be fed
Fed by the magic of patience
and compassion
Compassion that grows out of sheer faith
Faith nurtured in the womb of love
Love which binds the human race
Race not towards a bloody victory
Victory loathes the taint of victims
Victims trapped in a vicious circle
Circle the world with infectious
optimism
Optimism that can laugh away the scramble
Scramble to our feet in defiance of
violence
Violence wiped off the map?What do you say of that?
