Soldiers Die Nations Cry

by Aarti Sriram
(India)

Please stop the wars let danger and grief now cease

You’r in power for so brief, no signs of stability or peace

Cant bear to see drone and our youngsters dead

Old in ventilators alone hapless cannot break a bread.



Lets sort out differences, its not any rocket science

You make, only with intention to break new alliance

With state of the art arms and weapons in hand

Still insecure unjust barons where do we stand.



How much more can you relish the gain

How many more lives will we sacrifice in vain

A family a bundle of joy or single and be merry

Read a book, dance a step travel take a ferry



When did you drift from the brook’s joyous bends

Cried alone Created a deadly army made no friends

We can still give-in may be your unborn can live

A better future let kindness thrive and you forgive



How hard it must be to carry on such hate

Nations have fought to change our fate

But if we keep fighting, the loss will be great

Our Motherland suffers lives in a vegetative state



Enough show of power mind always hyper

It is destruction, cavalry or through cyber

You have brilliantly discovered now let others aspire

Enjoy your comforts -live and let live, not conspire
