Wrote it at the time of Iraq war... extended to history... and all wars.
Fight and fright I see,
Men dueling on land, air and sea.
Wars are the ailment of humankind,
To be fought, without sane reasons behind.


Even before men learned to eat,
They mastered the art to kill, fight and cheat.
History speaks high of men who were brave,
Killed many, before going to grave.


Present is as dark as the past,
W.M.D.s created and stocked fast.
Men are still learning the art of construction,
Then why are they making these weapons of mass destruction???


God said :- “human mind is evil.”
I ask if so, why not worship the devil???
God didn’t set peace on earth,
Religious wars, Jihad and crusades!!! Are they worth???


God made the world, the universe,
Religion divided it, into zones as a curse.
Then men made territory,
Fighting for which was obligatory.


Countries formed, reformed, named and renamed,
But fight for the same remained.
Man is just another social animal,
& wars are the impact of this social sentinel.


Wars give out only one message, that’s hatred,
Why fight, when there’s so much love to be spread???
Bullets and Missiles don’t care of innocence,
So why pull the trigger??? Isn’t it a nuisance!!!
