Everyday Poem-22 war And War

EVERYDAY POEM _22 War and War 2nd April 2026 I take my eyes away from the T.V.Screen When war pictures crop up Cities, buildings and industries going in flames Multi storied buildings collapsing like a pack of cards God knows Who are under the rubble! I take my eyes away When I see cut limbs And blood oozing bodies lying here and there Terrified people running for life from smoke and fire God knows what will happen to them! Oh! Don't see, don't see those horrible scenes When men kill men, women and children They kill and kill irrespective of young or old Spilling blood on the road. Will the war stop? Will ever reason come to those Who play power games At the cost of the world's misery? Markets tumbling Thousands losing jobs Thousands displaced Thousands losing livelihood Thousands of people die and many wounded For what ego Do you have an answer? What is the cause Justifiable enough For the devastation, destruction and mayhem worldwide? @ Bharati Nayak
