Territorial Integrity

Why countries are simply invaded? Do the other countries are principally wedded? Does their ethnic love and belonging firmly embedded? The country’s territory annexed and added Is it grand design to form a powerful block? The bell should ring as per their time in clock Will their aim succeed and keep together the flock Fire will be raging inside giving room for smoke It is how the nationalism and patriotism suffer Small countries cease to exist and work as buffer They may lie low but not at the cost of national pride No one will tolerate the insult and shame to newly bride They prefer to have sway and hegemony Every occasion availed with grand ceremony Show of strength with power and money Why should they bother for peace and harmony? You can’t suppress the strong nationalism? Can’t stop it with propaganda or journalism? Patriotism and nationalism are simple words Many lost kingdoms even with powerful lords History may not repeat with glorious past Doubts should not be raised and apprehensions cast Peace should given a chance to long it last Nothing should be at stake as actions should be fast Time has passed as nations used to bully Bloodbath and humiliation not realized fully It is emergence of universal brotherhood and faith People are aware and not afraid of death You may subjugate and rule the land Reign of terror with firm iron hand National insult and wounds may not be healed Agony and pain can not be revealed It is how we respect the sentiments, Not to violate any space in continents Respect to territorial integrity in sincerity Respect to land and overall sovereignty Millions want to live with peace and honour Atrocities and tales may serve as horror Commitments, if any, must be as clear as mirror Why not we bid farewell to fear and terror?
